Carry the Blame

He brings her flowers
In the middle of winter
Just to take away the cold

She's got a problem
With his misguided anger
He wears it head to toe

And he can't escape his own loneliness
You know it follows him wherever she goes

And when she tells him
This is the end
He finds a way
To start all over again
He says,
"This time it will be different
Let me show you I've changed"
He's still the same
Only strong enough
To carry the blame

Black is his favorite color
He's got it tattooed
On his arms

Blue is the reflection
That she sees in the window
When times start gettin' hard

And she dreams of money
He can't afford
But it never
Goes very far

And when she tells him
This is the end
He finds a way
To start all over again
He says,
"This time it will be different
Let me show you I've changed"
He's still the same
Only strong enough
To carry the blame

They wait
For a better life
To open up the door

They see
What has come and gone
And dying to be born

And in the dead of night
He reaches out
For a hand that isn't there

And she says,
"Why should I care?"
"Why should I care..."

And when she tells him
This is the end
He finds a way
To start all over again
He says,
"This time it will be different
Let me show you I've changed"
But he's still the same

And when she tells him
This is the end
He finds a way
To start all over again
He says,
"This time it will be different
Let me show you I've changed"
But nothing remains
Only strong enough
To carry the blame

Strong enough
To carry the blame

Strong enough
To carry the blame

Strong enough!

Yeah, strong enough!

Ah yeah, strong enough!
