i 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?
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
i wanna blame it on you
i wanna blame it on you
