Lyrics

Due to certain circumstances
I have used up all my chances
You're not the one I love
And I'm not like the great pretender
I thought I was
Now it's too late to start again
Just say that it's me
Protecting my heart again
Blame it on me
What a messy situation
Not a night for celebration
You're not the one I love
I'm not like the great pretender
You thought I was
And I was caught up in fantasy
Too long I have tried to be
What I could not be
Blame it on me
And I believed
That if someone loved you
That they would always be there
Nothing left for us to talk out
Why can't one of us just walk out
Oh, no, ooh...
Too late, start again
Just say that it's me
Protecting my heart again
And I was caught up in fantasy
(Too late, too late)
Too long
Whoa-oh-oh...
I could not be
(Whoa, you)
Blame it on me...
