[Verse 1]
What were you thinking?
I have a right to ask
Is there a reason
Other than your past?
The great pretender
Why was I the last
To see through your skin?
Is there a chance
You'll ever change?

[Chorus]
It's always the same
You're always to blame
Is there any way around this
I can't see
You walked out on her
You planned to be free
I'm trying not to point the finger
But it's killing me

[Verse 2]
What were you thinking
Were you thinking of me?
Did you see what they wrote
On the family tree?
I know it's over
All in the past
I need to forgive you
If I'm to last
Will I ever change?
[Chorus]
It's always the same
You're always to blame
Is there any way around this
I can't see
You walked out on her
You planned to be free
I'm trying not to point the finger
But it's killing me

[Bridge]
Take these pieces thrown away
Put them together from
Night 'n' day
Washed by the sun
Dried by the rain
To be my father
In my fatherless days
