Only One to Blame

You are like the summer rain

Man you’re really coming down

Putting pressure on my head again

You just might drown me out

You’ve always been a painter

Paint in red and black and blue

Showing what you want to see

Brushing right over the truth

And you sacrifice your beauty

To procrastinate the pain

Let it grow until

It’s more than you can tame

It looks like you’re the only one to blame

I watch you chase your shadow

As it circles ‘round your shoes

And it feels just like your moving

And you know just what to do

But your feet are growing heavy

And your soles are wearing thin

And you’re tired of the motion

But you’re right back where you’ve been

And you fall for the familiar

And it always ends the same

But when it hurts

At least you recognize the pain

It looks like you’re the only one to blame

Are terrified to face it

Are you choosing to be blind

If you need someone to take with

I’ll be waiting here to help you cross the line

Just taking your hand in mine

And we’ll search for what you’re after

And it’s gonna hurt sometimes

To bear the weight of all

The truth you’re gonna find

I hope you get it right in time
