Blinded by Love

You fell for him so long ago
Not knowing what he was
To you he was your everything
To you he was your love
You had no clue the type of man
This man was deep inside
And how this man would hurt you
And the times he’d make you cry

You have to know it’s not your fault
You did do nothing wrong
A little slap, a hurtful word
The pain did not last long
He had a way to make you think
You were the one to blame
He made you feel guilty
It was all part of his game

You were blinded by love
You never had a clue
You had no idea
Of what that man was going to do
But you can count on me
And with the help from God above
We'll free you from the darkness
You were blinded by love

As time went on you had his kids
They think he hung the moon
And the abuse got more intense
Each event came far too soon
On the surface he’s a nice guy
He uses his many charms
If only others could see the horrors
Of the bruises on your arms

After all these years of feeling trapped
You finally see the light
You’ll save and scrimp and plot and plan
And get away one night
You and your kids will get away
One day you will be free
Far from this mad mans grasp
And you will live again, you see

You were blinded by love
You never had a clue
You had no idea
Of what that man was going to do
But you can count on me
And with the help from God above
We'll free you from the darkness
You were blinded by love

This life you live can’t be easy
But soon you’ll have a fresh start
You and the kids in a brand new place
With freedom in your heart
If there is one thing that I can do
To get you out of there
Just let me know what you need
Because you know, my love, I care

You were blinded by love
You never had a clue
You had no idea
Of what that man was going to do
But you can count on me
And with the help from God above
We'll free you from the darkness
You were blinded by love
