I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well it's only me for the words "I'm blessed"
But I don't have time to change, my love
And all my thoughts on what this could have been
Well they rain down from above
And I don't have strength to find, my dear
That I've wasted all my glory days
Well that's all I have to fear
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well it's only me for the words "I'm blessed"
I swore to God I would not yield
I broke my back in the open field
But when they came, they came for blood
Well I offered my neck like a good boy should
I don't have words to use, my friend
When the ghosts of all this ever was
Well, they're waiting in the end
And I don't want stories told in time
Saying that we stood upon the brink of this
But we failed to cross the line
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well it's only me for the words "I'm blessed"
Maybe that's the way it goes, oh
Litanies and summer shows and
Rolling eyes and told-you-sos and
Suddenly the sky comes falling down
Through the drain pipe
I promise it's alright
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
Oh, well I held my tongue till the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Oh well it's only me for the words "I'm blessed"
