[Verse 1]
We were young and in love, those were different times
Wrecked the side of your truck in the drive-thru line
Might as well laugh it off, that was how we survived
Through the eye of the storm, you were there by my side
Fast-forward the tape, I quit holding the door
I didn't notice a change, I was so immature
We're not playing a game, so why you keeping the score?
We've got kids of our own, we're not kids anymore

[Chorus]
So why put the blame on, blame on me?
I was singing the same old melody
If you give me a chance, I'll change, you'll see
So why put the blame on, blame on me?

[Verse 2]
Looking out for myself, I saw the damage I'd done
I needed someone to tell, but you were never alone
"Why can't you be like your friends?" I never said that
It doesn't mean anything, but now we're on the attack
I wallowed in shame, I made my defense
Honesty is pain and I don't wanna resent
'Cause you were holding the keys, will you forgive and forget?
I'm down on my knees
[Chorus]
So why put the blame on, blame on me?
I was singing the same old melody
If you give me a chance, I'll change, you'll see
So why put the blame on, blame on me?

[Bridge]
Right in front of my eyes, I could not see
I let you slip away from me
Now I'm praying to God and I hope that she
Puts it away this late at night
'Cause you were all that I want, you were all that I need
But I have to set you free
'Cause I'd rather be lost in misery
Than make this right

[Chorus]
So why put the blame on, blame on me?
I'm not singing the same old melody
If you give me a chance, I'll change, you'll see
So why put the blame on, blame on me?

[Outro]
Ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy
Ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, ayy-ayy
So why put the blame on, put the blame on me?
Why put the blame on, put the blame on me?
Why put the blame on, blame on me?
