The Blame

I haven't functioned very well lately
Guess the silence caught up with me still
I couldn't think of a happy ending for this
And I don't presume you will

'Cause you don't have all the answers
But can I blame you anyway?

'Cause somebody's got to take the blame
for what has gone down under my name
And someone will have to take the fall
I'd rather not lose my pride for once and for all
How do you just turn off the switch
As if what we felt was an itch?
Teach me how you breathe
Somebody's got to take the blame
and it won't be me

I have a backpack all packed and ready
And it's standing beside my door
I can't find the nerve to leave
but it's itching stronger than before

'Cause I don't have all the answers
Can I blame you? Can I blame you?

'Cause somebody's got to take the blame
for what has gone down under my name
And someone will have to take the fall
I'd rather not lose my pride for once and for all
How do you just turn off the switch
As if what we felt was just an itch?
Teach me how you breathe
Somebody's got to take the blame
and it won't be me

I'll be down the longest road
by the time you readjust your focus
And I'll be long gone before you see
that the person you should blame is me

'Cause somebody's got to take the blame
for what has gone down under my name
And someone will have to take the fall
I'd rather not lose my pride for once and for all
How do you just turn off the switch
As if what we felt was just an itch?
Teach me how you breathe
Somebody's got to take the blame
and it won't be me
