“No One is to Blame”
When you're young, decisions are made with a much lighter heart
Not knowing where it will take you or if it will tear your life apart
I always reached out with both hands
Hoping you would do the same
But like a mirage you weren't there
No one is to blame
Just one time, one time, I would’ve liked to hear you say
“I’m proud of you even if things didn’t go your way,”
Who knows, who knows, if I’d be a better person now
Someplace, somewhere, someway, somehow.
I took life as it was handed
Thought that it would always pan out
Never judged your imperfections
No "I love you’s" left unquestioned
Those endless promises you made
Amusement parks and baseball games
But like the seasons your mind had changed
No one is to blame
Just one time, one time, I would’ve liked to hear you say
“I’m proud of you even if things didn’t go your way,”
Who knows, who knows, if I’d be a better person now
Someplace, somewhere, someway, somehow.
I just wanted your attention
Not to mention love and affection
But with that heart of stone
You had left me all alone
Your approval was much so needed
And now my love for you has weeded
Just like a dying flame
No one is to blame
Just one time, one time, I would’ve liked to hear you say
“I’m proud of you even if things didn’t go your way,”
Who knows, who knows, if I’d be a better person now
Someplace, somewhere, someway, and somehow.
This feeling is too familiar
Just looking to need to know here
When this emotion will succumb
I feel like I'm the only one
This pain has left me to discover
Oh, how my heart and mind won't recover
How do you forgive someone with no soul?
Scarred for life, forcing up a wall
Just one time, one time, I would’ve liked to hear you say
“I’m proud of you even if things didn’t go your way,”
Who knows, who knows, if I’d be a better person now
Someplace, somewhere, someway, and somehow.
Like a frown, you pulled me down
More than I have should allowed
Tried to refrain from this pain
So many pieces still remain
No excuses
It is useless
Can’t look back
Too many issues
Simple and plain
You were the blame
Now I look at you with disdain
Just one time, one time, I would’ve liked to hear you say
“I’m proud of you even if things didn’t go your way,”
Who knows, who knows, if I’d be a better person now
Someplace, somewhere, someway, and somehow.
