Blame

I blamed your protective mother She acted like a toddler Then I moved on to blame myself Shame on me I'm the outcast You're pretty outside, to contrast The decaying heart you hold within But I kept coming over And your calls became longer And I fell back into my shell I could waste away eternity In the shadow you saved for me It was easier to blame myself (I could blame myself) For all your torture For all your lies For watching Mean Girls on a leather sofa Every time you cried I blame the torture I blame the lies For all the wasted chances I threw away For more time (Blame, blame) (I blame your protective mother) Blame myself for all you did to me You've got me crying begging please Oh how you crawl under my skin It's my fault I believed your words Shame on me for your outbursts I carry all you did on me But I kept growing stronger I learned how to recover Without the words you dug so deep I learned that I give my sanity For someone to notice me Somehow I had grown to blame myself (I could blame myself) For all your torture For all your lies For watching Mean Girls on a leather sofa Every time you cried I blame the torture I blame the lies For all the wasted chances I threw away For your life For all my life I blamed your protective mother Till you taught me to blame myself
