Blame it on
Your absent father
Your addict mother
Your unexpected children
Blame it on
Anyone, and anything
So you never have to
Take responsibility
For your own actions

It's the whiskey
That hit me
It's my own shards
That tore me apart
It's a malevolent God
That lied about love
'Cause you don't do anything

Blame it on
My fragile psyche
My insecurities
My "impossible" needs
Blame it on
Anyone, and anything
So you never have to
Take responsibility
For what you've done to me

It's the cigarettes
That stole my breath
The weight of my expectations
That broke my trust
The spinning of my own wheels
That drove me into madness
'Cause you don't do anything
Everyone has a **** like this in their life.
I wrote something for you.

would you accept my words?
I promise you, they mean no harm.
if you need glasses, I will buy them for you.

You can run if you like,
can I follow?
Cry if you want to,
but can I dry your eyes?

You can scream if you want,
I promise I'll listen.

Anything you do,
is okay with me.

Because I am so glad I found you here.

And if the rain comes,
to strip me of feeling...
I hope it strips you of fear.

Because,
I stand before you:

e m p t y .

Please accept my words.
I promise...

they mean no harm.
