Blinders

from Small Kindness by Englewood

lyrics

If I knew then what I think I know now,
Would I have managed to move forward?
I'm not sure how.
If I could sit down and talk with my younger self
My younger self would probably say,
"I'll just sit here on the shelf".

If I hadn't been wearing the blinders of youth,
If I hadn't believed in my idealistic Truth,
I might not have stepped forward to make my way.
I might not have stood up to have my say.

Maybe we need the blinders we wear
To help us live our lives without being scared.
Maybe we have the blinders we need
So we can be brave enough to try to succeed.

If I'd really understood the inevitable pain
Of losing ones you love again and again
Would I have covered up my heart
with a fragile shell,
And missed out on heaven
to save myself from hell?

Maybe we need the blinders we wear
To help us live out our lives without being scared.
Maybe we have the blinders we need
So we can be brave enough to try to succeed.

Maybe we need the blinders we wear
To help us live out our lives without being scared.
Maybe we have the blinders we need
So we can be brave enough to succeed.
