Not The One To Blame

My heart told you once
About what could have been…
What should have been.
My heart wraps its arms around you-
Mourns for you-But you’re gone.

Chorus:
Don’t say the words that ring untrue.
Don’t say the things that come to you.
Don’t holler out my name.
Don’t leave me with all the blame.

My heart held you close
Remember those times
Or did you block them out?
My heart cries out no!
But I keep walking this road.

Show me what you want to say
Fall down on your knees and beg.
Feel me run through you
The bitter aches of yesterday.

Chorus:
Don’t say the words that ring untrue
Don’t say the things that come to you
Don’t holler out my name
Don’t leave me with all the blame.

My heart is dead to you
Forgetting all your lies-
All you worthless tries
Standing steady on the feet of tomorrow
Watching time wither away-
Watching my glass fill with sorrow.

Memories burn like gasoline
Poisoning everything around me
Forgetting about what could have been-
What should have been.

Chorus:
Don’t say the words that ring untrue.
Don’t say the things that come to you.
Don’t holler out my name.
Don’t leave me with all the blame.

No! Don’t… don’t… don’t… leave me with all the blame!
I’m not the one to blame!
