Avoid the Blame
[Verse 1]
Say my name and I'll play your game
And my demands for all the trouble that you've caused
Just take my pain right from my veins
And even if you could, you'd probably fake it, just in case
Can't make it any other way

[Chorus]
When reflections can be so deceiving
I've been waiting here and you're still leaving
You've been dragging me down
And I've been waiting around for so long
Look at the damage you have done

[Post-Chorus]
And I'll bet you think you've won

[Verse 2]
Just say my name, 'cause I played your game
And I did my best
It was just too little and too late
You push me away, it's just the price I pay
And I can't afford it, but I think I'll try anyway
Can't make it any other way

[Chorus]
When reflections can be so deceiving
And I've been drowning here and you're still breathing
And you've been dragging me down
And I've been waiting around for so long
Look at the damage you have done

[Bridge]
You pray for someone else to come along
And I've been waiting here, safe from harm
And I try to promise you that I won't ever fade
And you just ignore my calls
Avoid the blame
Fuck

[Outro]
And I'll bet you think you've won
And I'll bet you think you've won
And I'll bet you think you've won
Look at the damage you have done
Fuck
And I'll bet you think you've won
I'll bet you think you've won
Then you'll be pleased to know you've won
