Blame me! Blame me! For mistakes you've made but you can't own Hate me, hate me, hate me For every honest word that you've postponed Leave me out of this Your life's a sinking ship, so Blame me, blame me, blame me For mistakes you've made but you can't own And we could stare all day At problems that won't go away Silence is pounding (silence is pounding) You're wearing me down, these corners they're rounding Then we could scream all night With no resolve still left in sight Stop saying you're sorry All of these words feel so very empty Blame me! Blame me! Blame me! For mistakes you've made but you can't own Hate me, hate me, hate me For every honest word that you've postponed Leave me out of this Your life's a sinking ship, so Blame me, blame me, blame me For mistakes you've made but you can't own Torturing ourselves, we must be into the abuse If you're the rope that ties us together Please make me a noose Ask me to leave Then beg me just to stay Used to run to my arms, but now I walk away Come and go as you please I'm like a part-time lover with well-worn knees Well, come on Blame me! Blame me! Blame me! For mistakes you've made but you can't own Hate me, hate me, hate me For every honest word that you've postponed Leave me out of this Your life's a sinking ship, so Blame me, blame me, blame me For mistakes you've made but you can't own
