I should've known
when the cop told me
I'm goin' too fast
He told me
Speed like that
and it's bound to be a hell of a crash
He told me
Better late than you don't get there
do the math
Oh you oughta be grateful
For what you have
Well what if I refuse to learn
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
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
