There's not a pill to take
That could erase you, babe
There's no escaping
The heat in July
You'd rather break your neck
Than try to fix your head
There's not a consequence
That you would find

'Cause I'll take the blame for you
Whatever that means
To take it away for you
Whatever it takes
To bring you back to where you were
Before the break
I'll take the blame
And you'll walk away

You've got your new, new fix
While I talk to my crucifix
The closest to prayer I'll get
To throw you a line
Saying you're not yourself
And I'm praying you're someone else
So it's not you I lose
This time

'Cause I'll take the blame for you
Whatever that means
To take it away for you
Whatever it takes
To bring you back to where you were
Before the break
I'll take the blame
And you'll walk away

You'll walk away
And I'll take the blame
With no hesitations, taking it on
And drinking you down
And loving you more
Even though it's all changed
Though I'm not yours anymore

I'll still take the blame for you
Whatever that means
To take it away for you
Whatever it takes
To bring you back to where you were
Before the break
And I'll take the blame
And you'll walk away
