Blame me
It was me who did nothing I
didn’t try about everything
Me, never wanted you the
best I let you go out the nest
Left you cry that man’s
shoulder on Now he’s the new
dick you ride on I wasn’t
honest to you all the time
Stupid because I wanted you
all mine Brought you
everything I could Didn’t take
you places you would No
special treats, no sweet
surprises When I fell down, I
had a crisis Couldn’t learn
how to love you That’s why
you always searched some
new Middle of the night I
didn’t buy goods So dumb,
couldn’t make special foods
Can’t tell all I never couldn’t
be Easier this way, go on
blame me!
Arnold, Stucz
