ONLY GOT MYSELF TO BLAME

Frightened of the falling leaves

There’s a second to make a wish before they hit the floor

After that I’m not really sure but it’s probably not good

Waiting for the morning breeze

It should blow away the cobwebs left by yesterday

And after that I couldn’t care as long as it gets better, better, yeah

So I’ll make my excuses, clear my name

And if nothing ever happens I’ve only got myself to blame

Take the time to look me up

If you’re ever passing nowhere I would think I’m in

And it’s not the home I choose but it’s relatively free

Frightened of what I’ve become

The face is still familiar but he’s not the same

In spite of that I shouldn’t care as long as I am better, better, yeah

So I’ll make my excuses, clear my name

And if nothing ever happens I’ve only got myself to blame

Trying to get what I deserve

It’s not that I’m ungrateful but I want the world

And I feel that I can take it now ‘cos everything is better, better, yeah

So I’ll make my excuses, clear my name

And if nothing ever happens I’ve only got myself to blame

So I’ll make my excuses, clear my name

And if nothing ever happens I’ve only got myself to blame
