Blame Me

“BLAME ME”

Yeah…

You always say it’s me.

Maybe it is…

Maybe I’m the problem.

But you never ask why I became this way.

You just blame me.

You call me when you’re lonely,

Then act like you don’t need me.

Tell me that you hate me,

Then tell me that you need me.

We fight until the sunrise,

Say things we can’t take back.

You know exactly where it hurts,

And you know just how to attack.

I know I got my problems,

I ain’t running from the truth.

But every time I try to change,

I end up losing you.

You remember every wrong I did,

But never what I gave.

Never all the nights I stayed,

When I could’ve walked away.

You only see the damage,

Never see the scars.

You only see my failures,

Never how hard I tried.

And maybe I deserve the blame,

Maybe I’m insane…

’Cause after everything you did,

I still call out your name.

Blame me, blame me,

Yeah, baby, put it all on me.

Tell everybody I’m the villain,

Tell ‘em I’m the reason that you couldn’t breathe.

Hate me, hate me,

But don’t pretend you didn’t love me.

I gave you every piece of me,

And somehow you still made me feel like nothing.

It’s always me…

Always me…

Funny how you never see

What I did for you,

What I sacrificed for you,

How I loved you when nobody else would.

You got me questioning my worth,

Looking at myself different.

Wondering if I’m really the monster

That you keep convincing me I am.

I apologized a thousand times,

Even when I wasn’t wrong.

I’d rather swallow all my pride

Than spend another night alone.

You knew I was struggling,

Still expected me to save you.

I was drowning right beside you,

But somehow I had to rescue you.

And I would’ve given you the world,

If you would’ve let me try.

But you kept moving the finish line

Every time I got close to right.

Now I’m sitting in this empty room,

Reading all our old texts.

Looking at the pictures of us,

Wondering what happened next.

I hate that I still miss you.

I hate that I still care.

I hate that when somebody says your name,

I still look around like you’re there.

You only see the damage,

Never see the scars.

You only see my failures,

Never how hard I tried.

And maybe I deserve the blame,

Maybe I’m insane…

’Cause after everything you did,

I still call out your name.

Blame me, blame me,

Yeah, baby, put it all on me.

Tell everybody I’m the villain,

Tell ‘em I’m the reason that you couldn’t breathe.

Hate me, hate me,

But don’t pretend you didn’t love me.

I gave you every piece of me,

And somehow you still made me feel like nothing.

It’s always me…

Always me…

Funny how you never see

What I did for you,

What I sacrificed for you,

How I loved you when nobody else would.

Maybe I’m toxic…

Maybe you’re toxic too.

Maybe we’re two broken people

Trying to make something beautiful.

Maybe we loved too hard,

Maybe we loved too wrong.

Maybe the reason I can’t let you go

Is ’cause I gave you too much of my heart.

And
