[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't have time to change, my love
And all my thoughts on what this could have been
Well, they rained down from above
And I don't have strength to find, my dear
That I've wasted all my glory days
Oh, that's all I have to fear

[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed

[Verse]
I sworе to God I would not yield
I broke my back in the opеn field
But, when they came, they came for blood
Well, I offered my neck like a good boy should
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't have words to use, my friend
When the ghosts of all this ever was
Well, they're waiting in the end
And I don't want stories told in time
Saying that we stood upon the brink of this
But we failed to cross the line

[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed

[Bridge]
Maybe that's the way it goes, oh
Litanies, and summer shows, and
Rolling eyes and "told you so"s and
Suddenly, the sky comes falling down
Through the drain pipe
I promise it's alright

[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
Oh, well, I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Woah, well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed
