I blame the vain
For what we wear
And I blame the blind
When we can't see
I'll blame it all
On someone else
'Til there's nobody left
Then I'll just blame me
I blame her mind
For the thoughts we share
And I blame her heart
For every time we care
I'll blame it all
On how we used to be
'Til she's finally gone
Then I'll just blame me
So go ahead and blame
Anything that you want
'Cause it all ends up the same
When everything that you've been claiming is wrong
And don't you know that blame
Is always never enough
It just keeps you in the game
'Til you've only got yourself left to bluff
So I blame the vain
For what we wear
And I blame the blind
When we can't see
I'll blame it all
On someone else
'Til there's nobody left
Then I'll just blame me
'Til she's finally gone
Then I just blame me
