Blame on me, can't hold back, holdin' on for a minute, oh
Blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
We grew up in the same household, for years we were close
Throwin' football in the yard till the lights turned on inside the lamppost
Years go by, something changed when you got to junior high and started hangin' with them guys
Suddenly I meant nothin' to you, you wanted nothin' to do with me
You run with a crew that doesn't include any room for your little brother
I was destroyed but I still loved you, I still wanted your approval
If I could get it, I'd cherish it, embarrass me
Any chance you got, but I didn't care, because maybe if I was tough enough to take it, you would love me
Instead of lookin' at me like I'm disgusting, like I'm nothin', like I'm not the person that you grew up with
I wanna reminisce and ask you if you miss those days
But I'm terrified of broachin' the subject, I'm terrified to hear your answer
So I just don't touch it, I don't say nothin'
Faces, runnin' in the basement
Different faces, all knowin'
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
We grew up in the same household, for years we were close
One -on -one, I would dominate you in the post, years passed but the bond didn't last
And now I hate the man above the sink lookin' at me in the glass
Treated you like I hated you, never needed you
Even if I had the same opinion, disagreed with you
Insult after insult, hopin' they needed you, pokin' at your deepest wounds
My baby brother, I don't have an excuse
But I know you remember the way that dad would let loose on me, more often and way less you
He criticized and tested me, so I test you
I got so much wrongdoin' to confess to
And you act like it never happened, God bless you
I'm terrified of broachin' the subject, I'm terrified to even ask
So I just don't touch it, I don't say nothin'
Runnin' in the basic, different phases, all knowin'
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
You grew up in my household, under my roof
Raised you with discipline and taught you life's truths
Lashed out at you for things you'd misplaced
Reprimanding you in public till you red in the face
Made you feel the weight of every single mistake that you made
My hot temper turned up full throttle
Cause I needed you to be your little brother's role model
Everything that you do, he just gon' follow, don't you understand?
It's okay, I understand
Cause the way I parent you is how my mother did
And the way you treat your little brother's how my older brother did
And now I'm not even my brother's friend
There's so much I would do and say if I could have it done again
But I'm terrified of broachin' the subject, I'm terrified to break down
So I just don't touch it, I don't say nothin'
Runnin' in the basic, different phases, all knowin'
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
