[Verse 1]
I can't take all the blame
For running over you
I swear I've had the best intentions
I won't sway for just us two
Not saying there are better plans
Oh, but you're saying I should choose
Try to hold it all at once
Our plans keep falling through

[Pre-Chorus]
I could lie and say I'll clean it up
So simple it doesn't work
Hold on to what helps to make it
Easier for you

[Chorus]
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly, yeah
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can't take all the blame
That I hardly see my friends
You say that you're low maintenance
Oh, but I'm constantly on edge

[Pre-Chorus]
Another night out just dried up
Yeah, maybe we should go
Pulled away from dinner plans
Before you made a show

[Chorus]
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened too suddenly, yeah

[Bridge]
Playing the blame game
Blame game, blame game
[Pre-Chorus]
Just let it slide
I need this time
To be simple me
You happened way too suddenly

[Chorus]
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
You happened way too suddenly
Just let it slide (I need this time)
I need this time (To be the simple me)
To be simple me (But you're happening)
It happened way too suddenly
Why does it always happen to me?

[Outro]
One other thing
I know you feel— you felt you needed to play the blame game
But it takes two
Only one of us feels the shame
And we both know that it ain't you
