"Blessing In Disguise"


Well I guess you know you took me by surprise
When you hold me that you'd broken all the rules
And the future felt as empty as your eyes when I realized how far I was from you
But they tell me that the truth'll set you free from the sad confusion of your lies
And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see
So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise

[ guitar ]
So there's nothing left to keep us holding on now to the mystery we used to be before
What we ever shared together there is gone now
And what might have been don't matter anymore
But they tell me that the truth'll set you free from the sweet illusion of your lies
And it led me to a side of you that I'd refused to see
So I guess it's been a blessing in disguise

[ guitar ]

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
