Blame
Begging for Redemption: A Journey Through Self-Blame
Lyrics
I was looking for a blessin'
I sought a blessing.
But you were just a lesson
You turned out to be a valuable lesson.
That I didn't want to learn
It's a lesson I didn't desire to learn.
And then you let me burn
Resulting in me experiencing pain or failure.
Some days I wanna scream
On certain days, I feel the urge to express my frustration.
At a mountain you can't reach
Frustration towards an unattainable goal.
So you can't hear me
My voice goes unheard because of the distance.
I'm just a rock falling down
I am like a falling rock.
Beggin' to be found
Pleading to be discovered or understood.
But I got caught between...
Caught in a situation...
Blame it on the wine for too long
Attributing mistakes to the influence of wine for an extended period.
And now you're gone
Resulting in your departure.
I see my reflection staring back at me
Seeing my own reflection.
Reminding me of what I couldn't see
Realizing what I failed to see before.
It's stained by the lies
Stained by falsehoods or deceit.
While I'm dying inside and I can't breathe
Experiencing inner turmoil, struggling to breathe.
We could blame it on the wine…
Blaming the situation on alcohol...
Or I could blame it on me
...Or taking responsibility for my actions.
I've got two bottles worth of memories
Carrying a load of memories.
I'm trying to forget
Trying to erase those memories.
And a hell of a lotta nights that I wish I didn't regret
Nights filled with regret that I wish to forget.
I wish I didn't miss you, but I still do
Despite the desire, I still miss you.
I'm just a rock falling down
Similar to a falling rock...
Beggin' to be found
...seeking recognition or understanding.
But I got caught between...
Caught in a situation...
Blamed it on the wine for too long
Blaming the influence of wine for too long.
And now you're gone
Leading to your absence.
I see my reflection staring back at me
Confronting my own reflection.
Reminding me of what I couldn't see
Confronted with what I failed to perceive.
It's stained by the lies
Marked by lies and deceit.
While I'm dying inside and I can't breathe
Struggling internally, unable to breathe.
We could blame it on the wine…
Attributing the situation to alcohol...
Or I could blame it on me
...Or acknowledging personal responsibility.
I'll send my arrow to the wind
Sending a metaphorical arrow into the unknown.
Could it be broke or could it bend?
Wondering if it will break or bend.
And honestly I don't know how
Admitting uncertainty about moving forward.
To move on without looking down
Feeling paralyzed when considering the future.
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Previously lost, but now having some clarity.
Blamed it on the wine for too long
Blaming the influence of wine for an extended period.
And now you're gone
Resulting in your absence.
I see my reflection staring back at me
Confronting my own reflection.
Reminding me of what I couldn't see
Confronted with what I failed to perceive.
It's stained by the lies
Marked by lies and deceit.
While I'm dying inside and I can't breathe
Struggling internally, unable to breathe.
We could blame it on the wine…
Attributing the situation to alcohol...
Or I could blame it on me
...Or acknowledging personal responsibility.
I could blame it on me
Accepting personal responsibility for the situation.
