And we could ride all night
To the pace of the blinking light
Wishing traffic was faster (traffic was faster)
Keeping safe distance, but courting disaster
We could dance all night
To the sounds of a starting fight
Hoping change would come around (change would come around)
Amazing division, how sweet the sound
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so Blame me, blame me, blame me For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
And we could stare all day
At problems that won’t go away
Silence is pounding (silence is pounding)
You’re wearing me down, these corners they’re rounding
Then we could scream all night
With no resolve still left in sight
Stop saying you’re sorry
All of these words feel so very empty
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so Blame me, blame me, blame me For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Torturing ourselves, we must be into the abuse
If you’re the rope that ties us together
Please make me a noose
Ask me to leave
Then beg me just to stay
Used to run to my arms, but now I walk away
Come and go as you please
I’m like a part-time lover with well-worn knees
Well, come on Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so Blame me, blame me, blame me For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
