Skinned Knees

I never meant to drag you down with me
I never meant to paint you in my past
But I can't help but hold on to all these damn bruises
I can't help but keep these faded pictures in my head

I can't even damn learn how to heal
So how can I be mad at old letters?
She may of loved you, you may have not
But it's okay, I've forgot
How to forget all they ever did
Which wasn't much but leave me in tears

I should of told you a long time ago
But we both swore to keep the past the past
And here I am digging up yours
Looking for an excuse
To stop loving you and shoot myself out of here

You tell me to stop worrying
I tell you it's all your damn fault
But it isn't you and it's all me and I can't help but not breathe
At the thought this really is all my fault
I suppose this really is my fault

He's still swinging in my head
Causing the mess I'm asking you to clean up
Don't take it all too personally
I'm only losing me and it ain't got a damn thing to do with you
I'm lost in everything I thought I knew

I want to just learn to love
Without begging for your help
I want to want you, not need you so bad
I suppose I've learned from my skinned knees
That people like to push on me
And I suppose you would do the same

Guess I'm the only one here to blame
Yes, I'm the only one who's here to blame
