Well, I know I couldn't take the blame
So the feeling inside you's still the same
I'm beaten alive almost every night
A million miles from shaking the shame
Oh, all my life I held everything
But now you're gone and it's not the same
Telling a lie ain't but a thing
But taking all your time and all that's free, yeah
Even when you're gone and steal the sunlight
The feelings all remain, so now I'm taking the blame
Feeling alright while I'm taking the blame
'Cause you done gone lied all the same
Now let's take the blame y'all!
Well, I know I can't drink the same
'Cause things have all become insane
I've beaten the miles almost every time
But thousands of miles have been breaking the chain
Oh, all my life I promised everything
But now you're gone and it's not the same
Taking a drink ain't but a thing
But taking all this time and all these days, yeah
Even when you're gone and steal the sunlight
The feelings all remain, so now I'm taking the blame
Feeling alright while I'm taking the blame
'Cause you done gone lied all the same
Thinking about long ago
And all the things we should have known
And every night, with every lie, we were hearing the signs
All along
