blame Lyrics

If you died this week, I wouldn't know what to do

Would I cry for you, like I cried for him too?

Would I blame myself for 10 years, or my life?

Would I write? Would I write? Would I write?

Looking at you from this side of the tree

2025 to 2015

Maybe it's changed

But it's nothing I'm willing to leave

I met a kid kinda like us back then

Thinking they were to blame

And I knew when I looked in their eyes

That's insane

I live with the kids lying on the wooden floor

Who the pastor approached at the end of the service and warned"Don't blame, don't follow, don't go down that path"

Who are you to talk to us like that?

You call him a lamb, me a sheep, the same breath

You got the birth and the death-day wrong

So I'll burn all your programs and spit at your finger-sandwiches

And carry on

I hate looking back for that prick to be right

When I know, in my logic, it's easy to fight

And no one has ever explained

The real break in my life

I sat on the bench and imagined him there

Saying"It's not your fault"

And I didn't care

The blame doesn't live there

It's somewhere in the break

In the loss of the tie, in the way that it changed

In"what did I owe?"

To the most important friend I'd ever know?

I met a kid kinda like me back then

Wondering if they were alright

If they were to blame

When they lost who they loved

If they were wrong

How come mine

Still feels

Right?
