Blame

I stood with my hands open wide

Waiting for a sign from your dead eyes

And you stood there with your mournful sighs

Ignoring my, my voice asking why, why

It took a week for you to speak

While I was screaming I

Needed to see eye to eye

They said to follow waiting for a crumb but

Hungry tastes like numb

I was tired, I'm not done

And you're so good at acting so good

Making sure I'd fall

Blame it on time

Blame it on alcohol

Blame the new social trends

Tell me all good things end

Say it's your heart

How it was doomed from the start

Call me your perfect girl

Cut me out of your world

Blame it on your life, but I

Will blame it on you

I told myself that if I tried

Harder I could buy your affection, I could try

Rumor said if I waited that you'd come 'round soon

The clock ticked on and you

Turned away you left no clue

You're so damn good at acting so good

Making me feel small

Blame it on time

Blame it on alcohol

Blame the new social trends

Tell me all good things end

Say it's your heart

How it was doomed from the start

Call me your perfect girl

Cut me out of your world

Blame it on your life, but I

Will blame it on you

With burned fingertips I reached for your face

And like a fool was met again by flames

My mouth rehearsed and almost said your name

But words are just words

Silence hurts worse

So blame it on time

Blame it on alcohol

Blame the new social trends

Tell me all good things end

And I'll blame it on her

I'll blame it on me

I'll say I was blind I didn't see

I'll blame the age

I'll blame your past

They tell me this heartache it won't last
