The Blame

Jeremy Beacham 1979 (Tesax)



I thought I was the one you wanted to hold
But you said it was too many lies that were told
I guess that's why your heart went astray
And why you pushed me away.
I'll take that blame.

Eight months went by and we haven't felt each others touch
But I loved you so much.
All I wanted to do is work so you and I can live.
But what I was doing wasn't enough to give
The blame is on me

All I wanted was to fill your cup
Never meant to enrage you and have you blow up
But the truth came out
And I'm the walking around with shame and doubt
But I'll be a man and take that blame.
