I see a flame, I wanna get burned How can I blame you For showin' up at the party? Lookin' through me in that way Saw somethin' inside of me break Saw me wanna make a mistake How can I blame you For takin' over my daydreams? I wanna scream it, I'm sorry But I can't 'cause I'm long overdue Oh I wanna blame it on you Why's it hard for a man to be satisfied? Oh, I got one glimpse of the green grass on the other side 'Cause it's all been comin' to this and goddamn I won't be denied Oh I'm gonna take one more chance tonight Oh, what if I refuse to learn? I see the flame grow, I gotta get burned How can I blame you For showin' up at the party? Lookin' through me in that way Saw somethin' inside of me break Saw me wanna make a mistake How can I blame you For takin' over my daydreams? I wanna scream it, I'm sorry But I can't 'cause I'm long overdue Oh I wanna blame it on you Did I know my weakness? Did I mount all my defenses? Did I tell you to leave me alone? How can I blame you? You saw somethin' inside of me break You saw me wanna make a mistake How can I blame you? For takin' over my daydreams? I wanna scream it, I'm sorry But I can't 'cause I'm long overdue Oh I wanna blame it on you I wanna blame it on you I wanna blame it on you, yeah
