The Blame

Fuck it up, baby, let's get inside
It's the kinda truth that you need to hide, I'm told, oh
Spend a lot time staying out of sight 
Tryin' to catch a dream just before you rise you know
I am not the only one who knows
Where's there's darkness, something always grows

You can take it all back if it was a lie 
I won't go crying just to make a river flow, oh
Know your heart is a dagger too 
I hope it cuts me before it gets to you 

I've been leaning on a story that can't sit still 
In a jail I sleep on a sheet of bourbon 
I told you I'd write you and I will 
Promise you would always take my name 
It's something I should stick to earning
When you forget, I'll take the blame

Fuck it up, baby, just get inside
These are the nights where you need to drive up north, oh
Heard your heart from across the room 
And it sounds like it's beating through an open wound 
I am not the only one who leaves
When the darkness brings us to our knees

I've been leaning on a story that can't sit still 
In a jail I sleep on a sheet of bourbon 
I told you I'd write you and I will 
Promise you would always take my name 
It's something I should stick to earning
When you forget, I'll take the blame
