Sitting here telling myself that she was wrong
Didn't understand she said it was what it was
Should have had it figured out but I played along
My love for you wasn't the only one

Everything is changing leaving like it was before
And I ain't welcoming when she come through the door
I keep my distance when she climb up into bed
My heart had been shattered yet again

And I go on with my day playing like I'm okay
But the pain won't ever stop (stop it!)
How did I go along without knowing what was going on
How could you say it was all of my fault

Then go ahead, blame me
If that's what you need to do
Go ahead, blame me
It's really not me, it's you
How could you, blame me
When all I gave was everything for you
You're up and down
You're in and out
You can't hold me down
Baby you're the one to blame
Just stop it
Just stop

You're quick to tell me I don't kiss you like before
Or send you messages, I'll wait to be ignored
Why's it so hard for you to look me in the eyes
Is this on one other side
There just ain't something right about the situation
I can hear it in your voice, I hear the hesitation
Would you walk away and never wanna talk about it
It's all because of you

And I go on with my day playing like I'm okay
But the pain won't ever stop (stop it!)
How did I go along without knowing what was going on
How could you say it was all of my fault

Go ahead, blame me
If that's what you need to do
Go ahead, blame me
It's really not me, it's you
How could you, blame me
When all I gave was everything for you
You're up and down
You're in and out
You can't hold me down
Baby, you're the one to blame

I didn't wanna say I was over it
Cause I ain't over it, I ain't over it
How could you tell me now
That your mind is set
Love me, hate me, blame me
I'm gonna do it
(love me, hate me, blame me)
If that's what you need to do
I'm gonna do it
(love me, hate me, blame me)
If that's what you need
If that's what you need

Blame me, if that's what you need to do
Then go ahead and blame me
It's really not me, it's you
How could you, blame me
When all I gave was everything to you
You're up and down, you're in and out
You can't hold me down
Baby, you're the one to blame
Just stop it
Just stop it
Just stop
