I'm Blaming You For Everything

  • I think this is my new personal favorite. I could have made it longer, going further into life, but then it would be really long. Maybe I'll make a sequel to it someday. ================= Well, I’ve been thinking And I’m blaming you for everything The broken tree in front of my house That killed my cat that I had since I was three And the flood that came through That took away my trike and bowling shoes I know it’s not all that much But little things can be so much to lose Do you remember the winter of ‘98 The first year I learned how to skate You took me to a lake you found out in the middle of Hammers field I told you to check, because the water looked thin Your neglection caused me to fall in And I’ve been walking on only nine toes since, ‘cause it never healed Well, I’ve been thinking And I’m blaming you for everything There was that day I lost my dog Then found him shaved under your front porch swing It was the first day of high school You threw my pack in the swimming pool My Sharpies bled all over I lost my last shot at being cool Do you remember the spring of 2009 It was early in the dusk of our prime You told my neighbor I keep my scope near my East window She called my parents that night A car door ended the fight Now I have to live downtown with my aunt in the ghetto Well, I’ve been thinking And I’m blaming you for everything You called my girlfriend You told her I bought her a wedding ring Well, I never bought it I haven’t saved up the money yet And now she’s angry She thinks I gave it to my friend Jeanette Do you remember the summer of ‘89 You weren’t alive, but they had you in mind I’ve been thinking that I should build myself a time machine Maybe I’d set the motel on fire Or replace the bed with barbed wire But getting rid of you, maybe then I’d be lost in this world obscene Well, I’ve been thinking And I’m blaming you for everything
