Why Am I the One to Blame (Song)
Verse 1:
I'm scared of looking in the mirror
Scared of what I'll see
'Cause every time I look, that isn't me
I'm starting to lose grip on my own reality
But everyone say "You're fine, trust me."
Verse 2:
Look to the stars, look for an answer
"I did everything a parent should"
No, you don't understand
But to you I'm as valuable as a grain of sand
Lock and load ready to aim
I'm a disappointment to my family name
Chorus:
Cover the scars and hide the pain
No one will notice they'll think I'm sane
But under the surface I'm troubled and nervous
WHY AM I THE ONE TO BLAME!
Post-Chorus:
People start yelling
You'd cover your ears
But I float on a cloud
I don't feel my tears
I disconnect and lose touch
Like everything is in third person
I'm losing myself
Someone please help
Before I'm out of reach!
Verse 3:
And I can't eat a single thing
Or I eat everything at once
It switches back and forth, nothing ever improves
I want to change my ways but in the end I always lose
How long will this continue before I finally choose
Verse 4:
Life or death is it that hard to take
Something that was a mistake in the first place
To this day from when I started they keep wondering why I'm guarded
I've told you before but you don't believe
Someone my age could ever bleed
But here I am blood on the floor
AND NONE OF YOU EVER RACED TO MY DOOR!
Bridge:
I HATE WHO I WAS AND WHO I'VE BECOME
MY BODY AND MIND THEY BOTH FEEL NUMB
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS WAY, THINKS THIS WAY
I'VE SCREAMED AT MY PAST AND CUT AT MY FUTURE
SOMETIMES I WANT TO LAST
BUT OTHERS I JUST FEEL CONFUSION
WHY AM I HERE? WHAT AM I DOING?
NOTHING MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU'RE STUCK IN DELUSION
Chorus:
COVER THE SCARS AND HIDE THE PAIN
NO ONE WILL NOTICE THEY'LL THINK I'M SANE
BUT UNDER THE SURFACE I'M TROUBLED AND NERVOUS
WHY AM I THE ONE TO BLAME!
