How Can I Blame You

I should’ve known when the cop told me I’m going 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 showing up at the party
Looking through me in that way
Saw something inside of me break
Saw me wanna make a mistake
How can I blame you for taking over my daydreams
I wanna scream that I’m sorry
But I can’t cos 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
Cos it’s all been coming 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 showing up at the party
Looking through me in that way
You saw something inside of me break
Saw me wanna make a mistake
How can I blame you for taking over my daydreams
I wanna scream that I’m sorry
But I can’t cos I’m long overdue
Oh, I wanna blame it on you

Did I know my weakness
Did I mount all my defences
Did I tell you to leave me alone
How can I blame you
You, you saw something inside of me break
You saw me wanna make a mistake

How can I blame you for taking over my daydreams
I wanna scream that I’m sorry
But I can’t cos I’m long overdue
Oh, I wanna blame it on you, oh, oh
I wanna blame it on you
I wanna blame it on you, yeah
