lyrics

There's so much I could say, hidden in my apologies
I refuse to think you're wrong because it hurts
My entire life I've always been the one to take the blame for everything

I am so used, it doesn't hurt anymore
Never meant to dismiss what you are scared of
I just wanted to take it away from you
I always chose to take the slap in the face instead of giving it out
Running around keeping everyone on the ground

But you challenge me, you defy me, and I lose my mind
Because taking it away is what I try, when I cry
and I apologize for being so apologetic

They used to call me Madre Theresa
protecting the weak and the offended
Sometimes I feel like my soul can still keep their blame
I take the flame, I feel okay
as long as no one else is in pain
What a martyr, would she say? Or just clueless, I'm blind
Screaming out of my head, tangled in my words
Running from my need to apologize to you
for the things I can't control, the things I haven't done
the blame I can't agree on
I try to crush it, am I losing it and I can't breathe

Please let me take the blame
let me take it away from you

But this time around I will try, I will give away the blame
There's no need to apologize for the things I can't refrain
Please take it away, own it with pride
since you're the first one that tried
My love, feel free to take this blame away from me.

But you challenge me, you defy me, and I lose my mind
Because taking it away is what I try, when I cry
and I apologize for being so apologetic

Please let me take the blame
let me take it away from you

That Virginia Bridgeport, Connecticut

Once I knew how to play, I learned how to create. I knew life wouldn't be the same. Songwriting became my friend, my therapy, and my instrument of empowerment. My music is the best I can give to the world - it comes from my soul, from my heart, it is how I reach out. All I do is hope I can touch people in a positive way and somehow let them know it's ok to follow their bliss. ... more
