Blame

We were young and in love, those were different times
Wrecked the side of your truck in the drive-thru line
Might as well laugh it off, that was how we survived
Through the eye of the storm, you were there by my side

Fast-forward the tape, I quit holding the door
I didn't notice a change, I was so immature
We're not playing a game, so why you keeping the score?
We've got kids of our own, we're not kids anymore

So why put the blame on, blame on me?
I was singing the same old melody
If you give me a chance, I'll change, you'll see
So why put the blame on, blame on me?

Looking out for myself, I saw the damage I'd done
I needed someone to tell, but you were never alone
"Why can't you be like your friends?" I never said that
It doesn't mean anything, but now we're on the attack

I wallowed in shame, I made my defense
Honesty is pain, and I don't wanna resent
'Cause you were holding the keys, will you forgive and forget?
I'm down on my knees

So why put the blame on, blame on me?
I was singing the same old melody
If you give me a chance, I'll change, you'll see
So why put the blame on, blame on me?

Right in front of my eyes, I could not see
I let you slip away from me
Now I'm praying to God and I hope that she
Puts it away this late at night

'Cause you were all that I want, you were all that I need
But I have to set you free
'Cause I'd rather be lost in misery
Than make this right

So why put the blame on, blame on me?
I'm not singing the same old melody
If you give me a chance, I'll change, you'll see
So why put the blame on, blame on me?

Oh-ay-oh-ay
Oh-ay-oh-ay-oh
So why put the blame on, put the blame on me?
(Why, why, why put the blame on me?)
Why put the blame on, put the blame on me?
Why put the blame on, blame on me?
