BLAME GAME LYRICS  by Ema I’u


V1
I don’t know what do anymore, with you without you
Is this forwards or backwards I just can’t stay still 
Stagnant in boredom or a raging storm both kill
There’s no balance, just challenge after challenge 

CH1
And the blame game goes on and on and on
There’s no end to who’s wrong or who’s right
No one Wins Tonight (Do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do)

V2
You take a crack, take a stab at my self esteem
You know it’s fragile and has been slowly breaking down
I pick at the scabs of your old wounds that you’ve never let heal 
No compassion, just challenge after challenge 

CH2
And the blame game goes on and on and on
There’s no end to who’s wrong or who’s right
No one Wins Tonight (Do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do)

BRIDGE - V3 (rap)
Sometimes I think you’re the enemy, and your main weapon is love               
Just to makes deeper cuts When my guard is down         
Old Promises turn to promise Never kept never done
Might as well take a gun and shoot me down you lying 

Can’t you see you mess with my mind
Yeah you mess with my mind and I’m not blind 
Can’t you see you mess with my mind with your ebb and flow 
From yes’ to maybes, mean No!  

Breakdown
You wana take all my Hope, build me up to fall, build me up to fall
You wana take all my Dreams, break ‘em down to dust, break ‘em down to dust. Ooooh 

CH3
And the blame game goes on and on and on
There’s no end to who’s wrong or who’s right
No one Wins Tonight                                                    x 2

OUTRO
(Do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do)
But the fault is all mine, the fault is all mine
The fault is all mine
The fault is all mine for staying tonight
