Watch your step, there's snakes in the grass
Young love is blind
I couldn't see your words burning holes in the truth

All the while you were sneaking out the back door
Don't know what you [can't/can] see
This whole time it was right under my nose
Everybody seemed to know but me
I couldn't see the fire, couldn't see the fire for the trees

You had me fooled, you pulled the wool down
Like you were invisible going all around town
Now there's nothing but ashes and dust on the ground

All the while you were sneaking out the back door
Don't know what you [can't/can] see
This whole time it was right under my nose
Everybody seemed to know but me
Ain't love that moves like that
Ain't love behind your back
I didn't wanna believe
I couldn't see the fire, couldn't see the fire
I couldn't see the fire

And all the while you were sneaking out the back door
Don't know what you [can't/can] see
This whole time it was right under my nose
Everybody seemed to know but me
Ain't love that moves like that
Ain't love behind your back
I didn't wanna believe
No, I didn't wanna believe
I couldn't see the fire, couldn't see the fire for the trees
