Myself to Blame

Weary from the strain and pressure in my life
I walk with a burden too heavy to bear
Lost in the midst of guilt and loneliness
Unable to cope with the heartache and despair
Trying to find my way thru these foggy streets
Blind and unable to recognize myself
Trapped in the depths of loneliness
With no one around to help

I can blame a million people for my pain
Still, the truth is I'm the only person at fault
Looking in the mirror, starring at my image
Unhappy with the results I saw
My confusion has ruined all my chances of happiness
All it left me with was heartache and pain
Alone with cold feet and frozen hands
Standing before an assembly as the only one to blame

No one can trust me or believe a word I say
My actions are unstable and uncertain
The show has finally ended with me being all alone
Accepting the fact that my love is now worthless
My name holds no meaning
My presence isn't felt
The love I have to offer is taken for granted
And the only person I have to blame is myself

I wish that I could change the past and fix this
But I have to face reality and accept my fate
Being in love isn't my best quality
Only loneliness, despair and heartache
So for those who I let down and hurt
For those who never received complete honesty
I accept that I am the only one responsible
Praying you see the sincerity in this apology
