If you’re wondering why the feeling’s changed between us
If I seem a little shaky when we kiss
Oh, it ain’t what it seems, you did nothing to spoil my dreams
No, I’m the one who’s let it all go wrong

Blame me, for I was helplessly in love
Just for a night I fell in love, I couldn’t stop
Blame me, I was so lost inside his arms
Was so blind inside his arms, I couldn’t see
Baby, I’m sorry

If you’re wondering why I turned from you this morning
And I couldn’t look directly in your eyes
Oh, it ain’t what it seems, you did nothing to spoil my dreams
No, I’m the one who’s let it all go wrong

Blame me, for I was helplessly in love
Just for a night I fell in love, I couldn’t stop
Blame me, I was a stranger to myself
If it was only someone else instead of me
Baby, I’m sorry

Blame me, for I was helplessly in love
Just for a night I fell in love, I couldn’t stop
Blame me, I was a stranger to myself
If it was only someone else instead of me
Blame me, I was so lost inside his arms
Was so blind inside his arms, I couldn’t see
