lyrics

Who's to blame?
Chalking it up to circumstance,
it was out of your control
Isn't it great to stand up against
all of the odds you've stacked ?
Building your house with Jenga blocks
it's ready to fall

How did you tell them?
How did they take the news?
It took some explaining
That's one thing I can do

Letting the waves
smooth all the edges out of you
while leaving your softer traits
There's just so much left to improve
but you put your faith in them
Tumbling til the day is through
and you aren't yourself

How did you tell them?
How did they take the news?
It took some explaining
That's one thing I can do
