How Can I Blame You

Lyrics

Should've known when the cop told me I'm goin' 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 showin' up at the party?
 Lookin' through me in that way
 Saw somethin' inside of me break
 Saw me wanna make a mistake
 How can I blame you
 For takin' over my daydreams?
 I wanna scream it, I'm sorry
 But I can't 'cause 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
 'Cause it's all been comin' 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 showin' up at the party?
 Lookin' through me in that way
 Saw somethin' inside of me break
 Saw me wanna make a mistake
 How can I blame you
 For takin' over my daydreams?
 I wanna scream it, I'm sorry
 But I can't 'cause I'm long overdue
 Oh, I wanna blame it on you
 Did I know my weakness?
 Did I mount all my defenses?
 Did I tell you to leave me alone?
 How can I blame you?
 You saw somethin' inside of me break
 You saw me wanna make a mistake
 How can I blame you?
 For takin' over my daydreams?
 I wanna scream it, I'm sorry
 But I can't 'cause I'm long overdue
 Oh, I wanna blame it on you
 Oh-oh
 Oh-oh
 I wanna blame it on you
 I wanna blame it on you, yeah
