What You Can't See Can't Hurt You

As I stumble away from the life I used to know,
Broken and bleeding,
Crying, because I've realized now.
I used to believe that it was alright,
But when you finally wake up to it all,
It gives you a fright.

Did you ever stop to wonder,
Exactly where you were heading.
Did you ever realize,
That every movement you made,
Would lead to a future.
Did you ever realize,
That the mistakes you make are very grave?

I woke up to the pain,
Caused by my ignorance.
What you can't see can't hurt you,
Right?
Well, you can't really see pain.

I can't look inside myself,
And realize that I'm wasting away,
But I don't have to see, to be able to feel.

Perhaps people will treat me wrong,
And say that I'm missing out on life,
Because I choose to be different,
But I know that at least I'm healthy and alive.

My true friends will stick by,
To watch me hope,
And watch me cry,
As it gets difficult,
As it gets to be second nature.
I know that they will be there when I fall,
And still there when I get up,
They won't misjudge me,
Or think me stuck-up.

That's why I've decided,
Despite it all,
That I can be different.

I guess my friends will know that it's my choice,
To avoid sugar and meat,
To stay faithful to those I love,
To be old-fashioned,
And all of the above.

It's nice to know,
That what I can't see will no longer hurt me,
And that I can still see my friend's love,
Shining brilliantly through their eyes.
