Lyrics

Empty Mansions

Is it ever really no one's fault?
The history is cloudy, memories I'm doubting
And I'm remembering the curtain call
Holding your ground underneath the waterfall
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm

And I blame it on myself
Blame it on myself
Oh-oh-ooh
You never needed my help, but never asked why
Oh, why?
Blame it on myself, blame it on myself
Oh-oh-ooh
You never needed my help, but never asked why

You stumbled in as it was winding down
I didn't think you'd make it out this way, we're just-
Empty mansions on a road in shores
Falling down so slowly, no one notices at all
Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm

And I blame it on myself
Blame it on myself
Oh-oh-ooh
You never needed my help, but never asked why
Oh, why?
Blame it on myself, blame it on myself
Oh-oh-ooh
You never needed my help, but never asked why

And I blame it on myself
Blame it on myself
Oh-oh-ooh
You never needed my help, but never asked why
Oh, why?
Blame it on myself, blame it on myself
Oh-oh-ooh
You never needed my help, but never asked why
