Blame me

It was me who did nothing I didn’t try about everything Me, never wanted you the best I let you go out the nest Left you cry that man’s shoulder on Now he’s the new dick you ride on I wasn’t honest to you all the time Stupid because I wanted you all mine Brought you everything I could Didn’t take you places you would No special treats, no sweet surprises When I fell down, I had a crisis Couldn’t learn how to love you That’s why you always searched some new Middle of the night I didn’t buy goods So dumb, couldn’t make special foods Can’t tell all I never couldn’t be Easier this way, go on blame me!
