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 rained down from above
And I don't have strength to find, my dear
That I've wasted all my glory days
Oh, 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 sworе to God I would not yield
I broke my back in the opеn field
But, when they came, they came for blood
Well, I offered my neck like a good boy should

But 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 so"s 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?
Woah, well, it's only me for the words I'm blessed
