“Not the One to Blame.”
You’re not speaking and you ain’t telling me no lies…
So where’s the fine line, between a lie and compromise?
Where’s the warm front…and where’s the truth that’s seldom told…
And where’s the brave man, who comes to save me from the cold?
Where’s the truth that is so hard to find…I don’t want to have to read between the lines…
And I don’t want to have to play your little game…
No I won’t give in, I’m not the one to blame.
It’s so easy, to make it seem like you’re afraid…
After all the things you said, and all the promises you made.
So where’s the hero…the one that I once thought I knew…and now you’re saying…”it wasn’t really you..”
Where’s the truth that is so hard to see, I won’t believe, it’s “all because of me..” and I admit, I love you just the same, but I won’t give in…I’m not the one to blame…
Bridge
And you can’t tell me, that you won’t miss me when I’m gone…
But all you’re telling me, is I did something wrong.
Just maybe I loved you more than you could take…
And maybe you never thought your heart could break…
Well if that’s my crime, and my only mistake, then I will leave you to yourself…
To think about You and You and no-one else…
Cause I don’t want to have to play your little game. No I won’t give in, I’m not the one to blame…
No I won’t give in I’m not the one to blame…no I won’t give in I’m not the one to blame…
And I admit, I love you just the same
But I won’t give in, I’m not the one to blame.
