Blame

Make it hurt so we can't leave
You only want what you can see
Until the tears blur your eyes
We're just staring at the sunset that we'll never ride into
You go out to try to find another
You tell your friends about how I was such a hopeless lover
It was never meant to be this way
But looking at you now, I just have to say
You'll never know my pain--that I had to walk away
Driving down your street one last time
Hoping that goodbye wouldn't make you cry, so long
You could try to make me last forever
But deep down you know we wouldn't work together
We were drowning in the rain
I tried to save you from the pain
We're still alive, but I take all of the blame
You're trying to put on a show
Are you the good girl at heart I know
Or has this world just made you cruel
You were my world, I was your fool
But right now I think your cover is blown
I step back and see this side of you
Pull back the covers and your colors are shining through
There's no disguise for the lies
The bombs are falling from the sky and I finally see the truth
Because you'll never know my pain--that I had to walk away
Driving down your street one last time
Hoping that goodbye wouldn't make you cry, so long
You could try to make me last forever
But deep down you know we wouldn't work together
We were drowning in the rain
I tried to save you from the pain
We're still alive, but I take all of the blame
And at the end of the day, I'll be the one with the blame
My love stays the same
And at the end of the day
The only thing that will change
Is the one who takes your place, your place, your place
Because you'll never know my pain--that I had to walk away
Driving down your street one last time
Hoping that goodbye wouldn't make you cry, so long
You could try to make me last forever
But deep down you know we wouldn't work together
We were drowning in the rain, I tried to save you from the pain
We're still alive, but I take all of the blame
