I stood with my hands open wide
Waiting for a sign from your dead eyes
And you stood there with your mournful sighs
Ignoring my, my voice asking why, why

It took a week for you to speak
While I was screaming I
Needed to see eye to eye
They said to follow waiting for a crumb but
Hungry tastes like numb
I was tired, I'm not done

And you're so good at acting so good
Making sure I'd fall
Blame it on time
Blame it on alcohol
Blame the new social trends
Tell me all good things end
Say it's your heart
How it was doomed from the start
Call me your perfect girl
Cut me out of your world
Blame it on your life, but I
Will blame it on you

I told myself that if I tried
Harder I could buy your affection, I could try
Rumor said if I waited that you'd come 'round soon
The clock ticked on and you
Turned away you left no clue

You're so damn good at acting so good
Making me feel small
Blame it on time
Blame it on alcohol
Blame the new social trends
Tell me all good things end
Say it's your heart
How it was doomed from the start
Call me your perfect girl
Cut me out of your world
Blame it on your life, but I
Will blame it on you

With burned fingertips I reached for your face
And like a fool was met again by flames
My mouth rehearsed and almost said your name
But words are just words
Silence hurts worse

So blame it on time
Blame it on alcohol
Blame the new social trends
Tell me all good things end

And I'll blame it on her
I'll blame it on me
I'll say I was blind I didn't see
I'll blame the age
I'll blame your past
They tell me this heartache it won't last
You can blame it on your life, but I
You can blame it on your life, but I
Will blame it on
