I hear this song in a slightly different way:

In the blinded-eye parade, You're the only one I see. We have ventured far and wide, In the hope that you'll believe. That every waking day we find, Will reveal an open door. You turned my life around, But I don't need you anymore.

We risked our lives on a feeling, It could all work out. Realize that you're wrong when you're leaving, And nothing you do could change it.

Well maybe I could say what you say. If only I could do as you do. It's all in the way that we are; It will always be the reason we lose. I can feel the spring in your step. You'll never see the hole in my heart. But whatever you did, it carried me this far...

Well I could hide my love away, As we walk with head in hands. When every lesson learned, Could be the reason why you ran. And now your only hope is with The only friend you'll see. With friends as good as yours, There's no need for enemies.

We risked our lives on a feeling, It could all work out. Realize that you're wrong when you're leaving, And nothing you do can change it.

Well maybe I could say what you say. If only I could do as you do. It's all in the way that we are; It will always be the reason we lose. I can feel the spring in your step. You'll never see the hole in my heart. But whatever you did, it carried me this far...

We have fought in the pouring rain, Just to hide our tears. The only thing you gave to me, Is a feeling that I've lost years. Couldn't turn my days around, Of believing what you say. Without walking out...

We risked our lives on a feeling, It could all work out. Realize that you're wrong when you're leaving, And nothing you do can change it.

Well maybe I could say what you say. If only I could do as you do. It's all in the way that we are; It will always be the reason we lose. I can feel the spring in your step. You'll never see the hole in my heart. But whatever you did, it carried me this far...

Well maybe I could say what you say. If only I could do as you do. It's all in the way that we are; It will always be the reason we lose. I can feel the spring in your step. You'll never see the hole in my heart. But whatever you did, it carried me this far...

Lyric Correction

I signed up to this site just so I could comment that I believe David is right in his interpretation and assessment of the lyrics and unfortunately it looks like the majority of the lyric sites do as well which is a shame. The accent can throw some people off but not only does his take on it make more sense he has also captured the essence of what this song sadly is about. I know because it's so hard to hold onto someone you know you could never be with. And no matter how you think about it, you...
