Can't Take All The Blame

(album: 14 Steps To A Better You - 2020)

I can't take all the blame
For running over you
I swear I've had the best intentions
I won't sway for just us two
Not saying there are better plans
Oh, but you're saying I should choose
Try to hold it all at once
Our plans keep falling through

I could lie and say I'll clean it up
So simple it doesn't work
Hold on to what helps to make it
Easier for you

Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly, yeah

I can't take all the blame
That I hardly see my friends
You say that you're low maintenance
Oh, but I'm constantly on edge

Another night out just dried up
Yeah, maybe we should go
Pulled away from dinner plans
Before you made a show

Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly, yeah

Playing the blame game
Blame game, blame game

Just let it slide
I need this time
To be simple me
You happened way too suddenly

Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened way too suddenly
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
It happened way too suddenly (Why does it always happen to me?)

One other thing
I know you feel
you felt you needed to play the blame game
But it takes two
Only one of us feels the shame
And we both know that it ain't you
