James Ritchie - I Blame Myself Lyrics

I went outside, the rain came down
And a grey old man said to me
"Son I know it don't ever get more easy
And there ain't nothing I haven't seen"
I said "Oh man! I had my time when I had someone
But she left me and didn't say goodbye
So now I'm stuck here picking up the pieces
And I don't have the time to dry my eyes"

'Cause I'm looking for the road I'm supposed to walk
The fire in my heart that won't give up
'Cause I've come so far but I'm still so lost
Will someone tell me now why I blame myself

When she left, I should've known
But I guess her love for me was all misread
She took my time, my care, my strength, all my affection
And now I'm here with nothing left instead

'Cause I'm looking for the road I'm supposed to walk
The fire in my heart that won't give up
'Cause I've come so far but I'm still so lost
Will someone tell me now why I blame myself

The old man said "it's time to let go of your problems
'Cause winter's here and you ain't ready in time"
So I turned around, and told myself that it's now over
And that it's time for me to say goodbye

'Cause I'm looking for the road I'm supposed to walk
The fire in my heart that won't give up
'Cause I've come so far but I'm still so lost
Will someone tell me now why I blame myself

Oh, Oh, 'Cause I've come so far but I'm still so lost
Will someone tell me now why I blame myself
