It was always easy to point the finger
To let someone else take the blame
When you make a living out of making excuses
It's hard to face yourself again

Self-denial and deception
Have always worked so well for me

But tonight I only blame myself
And it's clear to me there's no one else
To lay it on this time
And for all the games I learned so well
And for all the pain I've ever felt
Tonight I blame myself
That's the way it is

Well, she couldn't stop me from running
How many nights I made her wait
Any fool would have seen it coming
She warned me in her loving way

But tonight I only blame myself
And it's clear to me there's no one else
To lay it on this time
And for all the games I learned so well
And for all the pain I've ever felt
Tonight I blame myself
You know I blame myself

Yeah, tonight I only blame myself
And it's clear to me there's no one else
To lay it on this time
And for all the games I learned so well
And for all the pain I've ever felt
Tonight I blame myself

Well, tonight I blame myself
Oh, for tonight I blame myself
Just lay it on me, lay it all on me
For tonight I blame myself
Alright
