Put the Blame On Me

Put The Blame On Me

You know better than anyone that, that you fail 
me, but that's alright - just put the blame on me.
The things that you promise, you soon forgot.
You know you betrayed me, knowing that no one
could love you, more than I.

Now go ahead and put the blame on me. Cover
yourself with my pain. tell them that you were not
to blame. I have a lot of reasons to despise you, 
but all I want is - for you to be happy.

When you get to the other world - instead of hell, 
I hope you find glory and a cloud from your memory
can forever erase me from your mind. Yes - you can
put the blame on me - if you think, that can set you free...
