I Blame You

So perhaps you had found
I completely forgot
Just how quickly you brought out the worst in me
Black and white turned plaid
Every saint seemed a cad
Every value I had got reversed in me

Now my friends say it's strange
Say they've noticed a change
About what to attribute it to
Is it them? No it's not
Nor some government plot
When I'm put on the spot, I blame you

See, it didn't occur
To my heart to infer
That these obstacles were insurmountable
Your embrace was so cold
Still I bought all you sold
Now I'm hellbent to hold you accountable

When it pleased you to live
Did you even conceice
That this dire consequence would ensue?
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
I'm like limp watercress
I'll just wither unless I blame you

It's a minor variation on a well worn theme
It's an old extreme that I'm sinking to
I look for explanations but I manage none
It's the damage done that I'm drinking to

And I smoke like a fiend
I've been ? and demeaned
By this finely machined amour fou
You were yin to my yang
You were Sturm to my Drang
And they tell me that tango takes two
You're the best chance that I ever blew
And for that, dear, I can only blame you
