No One To Blame

(album: Darling Arithmetic - 2015)

Excuse me while I die
A million times before I meet
Your eyes with mine

And find all the promises you'll make
Before you leave me on the shelf
Then I'll have no one to blame
Guess I've got no one to blame

Excuse me while I try
To be somebody that you might
Decide you like

Enough to come over to my place
And as my heart begins to swell
I'll forget to where that face
That you got to know so well

And you'll see me as I am
Just an empty, broken shell
Then I'll have no one to blame
Guess I've got no one to blame
But myself

See there's a mystery in your eyes
A kind of swimming pool for swimming fools
Like me, so

Excuse me while I fly
High up above this broken town
As I look down

On all the people as they say
That they're always here to help
In my heart I know that they
Couldn't catch me if I fell

Only you could take the weight
Of this ancient, wicked spell
Then you'll have no one to blame
Guess you've got no one to blame
Then you'll have no one to blame
But yourself

See, there's a mystery in your eyes
A kind of swimming pool for swimming fools
Like me

Oh, Mr. Mystery
