no one else

Her favorite mirror
A ceramic vase
You count the pieces
From your hiding place
You could probably fix it but you'd
Rather see her face
When she comes home.

And you had to know
You were throwing it all away
But you did it anyway
And now there's no one else to blame
No one else to blame but you.

A shot of whiskey
A rum and coke
A clumsy sentence
You wish you never spoke.
You could apologize but you
Act like it was a joke
And turn to stone.

And you had to know
You were throwing it all away
But you did it anyway
And now there's no one else to blame
No one else to blame but you.

Stop thinking about yourself for a minute
There's always another point of view
Maybe love just doesn't work while you're in it
And there's nothing that any of us can do.
Give me someone else to blame
Give me someone else to blame

A lonely summer
An empty fall
You dial her number
But you never call
Even the biggest man
Can seem so very small
When he's alone.

And you had to know
You were throwing it all away
But you did it anyway
And now there's no one else to blame
No one else to blame but you.

end.
