I'd Rather Go Blind Lyrics

To me, this song is about lying to yourself, being blind on purpose about the fact that your loved one is about to leave 'cause loves you no more. You know it deep inside, but you are afraid of being alone outside of a relationship. You don't want to see it, but you know it will happen anyway, so all you have left is cry.
