[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue
'Til the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me
For the worst I'm blessed

[Verse 1]
But I don't have time to change, my love
And all my thoughts on what this could have been
Will they rain down from above?
And I don't have strength to fight, my dear
That I've wasted all my glory days
That's all I have to fear

[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue
'Til the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me
For the worst I'm blessed

[Post-Chorus]
I swore to God I would not yield
I brokе my back in the open field
But whеn they came, they came for blood
I offered my neck like a good boy should
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
I held my tongue
'Til the closing time
And who's to blame for all this mess?
Well, it's only me
For the worst I'm blessed

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
I cried, I wept, I lost my mind
Oh well I held my tongue
‘Til the closing time
And who’s to blame for all this mess?
Oh, well it’s only me
For the worst I’m blessed
