From the perspective of someone losing their sight.
lyrics
Never saw it coming
Never knew it could happen
Never felt like this before
So strong: what's so wrong
With a thunderstorm?
Never saw it coming
Never knew it could happen
Never thought it would all disappear
So quick: what's that trick
You're playing on me?
Everywhere I look I see shadows
Everywhere I go I feel almost alone
Everywhere I look I see shadows
Everyone I meet has something of their own
To say, to say, to say.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
Que, que sera sera sera,
What will be will be.
That's what they're telling me.
Never saw it coming
Never knew it would happen
Never been like this before
So long: what's so wrong
With a thunderstorm?
Never saw it coming
Never knew it could happen
Never thought it would all fade away
So dark, where's the spark
There used to be?
Everywhere I look I see shadows
Everywhere I go I feel almost alone
Everywhere I look I see shadows
Everyone I meet has something of their own
To say, to say, to say.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
Que, que sera sera sera,
What will be will be.
That's what they're telling me.
Never saw it coming
Never knew it could happen
Never felt like this before
So strong: what's so wrong
With a thunderstorm?
Never saw it coming
Never knew it would happen
Never thought it would go up in smoke
So fast, you're the last
Thing I saw.
