Weiland’s first and only single off his highly anticipated sophomore studio album Vices, “Blaming Myself” deals with his emotional dependence on a toxic, volatile relationship and the self-destructive behavior that comes with it.
[Chorus]
'Cause every single time we try to work it out
It just falls apart and I end up blaming myself
Blaming myself, blaming myself
'Cause every single time we try to work it out

Blaming myself, blaming myself
[Verse 1]
Never felt like I was good enough
You said there's nobody else you could love
I know that you hate me, I'm right for you, baby

Blaming myself, blaming myself
'Cause every single time we try to work it out
It just falls apart and I end up blaming myself
Blaming myself, blaming myself
[Outro]
And I know I'm all alone
And I blame myself, but I know I try
And it hurts to let go, but I must cut ties
(Woah)
