I Blame Me Songtext

I blame my dad for not teaching me to fear
I don't back down even when the odds are clear
And I blame you cause you're not here to see
Now that you're gone, I blame me

Drunken man would say it was the drinking
But that's not who I am
Stubborn man won't admit he's sinking
All pride and no plan
Now I accept responsibility
You'd be so proud of me

I blame my mom for my tender heart
Cause I don't just hurt, I fall apart
I blame my dad for not teaching me to fear
I don't back down, even when the odds are clear
I blame you cause you're not here to see
Now that you're gone, I blame me

At a red light that stormy night A stranger ran up in the dark
And hollered "get out of the car"
You begged, "don't put up a fight
Let's make a run for our lives"
That's when I heard the gun
Oh, I should have been the one

I blame my mom for my tender heart
Cause I don't just get hurt, I fall apart
I blame my dad for not teaching me to fear
I don't back down even when the odds are clear
I blame you cause you're not here to see
Now that you're gone, I blame me
