and i'll be the bad guy
whenever you need to find
an excuse for what's wrong in your life
you can put it on me
and i'll take all the blame
and i'll carry all your shame
you can walk around unfaced
put your pain in me
i'll be the second glance
the one with more than a chance
and i'll be the melody
when you're calling on me
i'll be your alibi
ashamed of all of your lies
another chance to cry
with that look in your eyes
put your pain on me
i'm not what you need
give me room to breathe
put your pain on me
i am just a man
doing all i can
it was never the plan that it all worked out this way
let us not pretend
that this is not the end
when you put me down and you put your pain in me
alpha the hourglass
your time has all passed
take another turn
find another way to learn
it's not always your fault
but you always get caught
what you've already had
you've already lost
put your thing on me
i'm not what you need
there'll be room to breathe
put your blame on me
put your pain on me
i'm not what you need
give me room to breathe
put your blame on me
and i'll be the bad guy
whenever you need to find
an excuse to what's wrong in your life
you can put it on me
and i'll take all the blame
and i'll carry all your shame
so you can walk away
round on face
put your pain in me
