“Properly Placed Blame” (sometimes called “Changing Like Seasons”) is a Bayside song that predates the band being named and their first lineup being solidified. It was written by original bassist, Chris Jackson.
Jackson’s original lyrics differ slightly from the final song
Seasons change in a day,...
[Verse 1]
Seasons change in a day
And everything’s clear in my head
Another made-up story
As I lie awake in this bed
But I will not make it here
Cause it’s been this way for months, now I can’t think
And I will not take it
When dishonesty comes around
[Chorus]
I’m feeling sick of you
All those times that you lied, what did it prove to you?
I’m feeling sick of you
All those games that you played, and all the trust you blew
I’m feeling sick of you
All those times that you lied, what did it prove to you?
I’m feeling sick of you
All those games that you played, and all the trust you blew
[Verse 2]
The leaves changing from green to red
Snow melts to the ground again
Another reason for me to see through all your lies
We couldn’t make it here
Cause it’s been this way for months
Now I can change
And I will not take it
And I’m tired of this place
I’m feeling sick of you
All those times that you lied, what did it prove to you?
I’m feeling sick of you
All those games that you played, and all the trust you blew
I’m feeling sick of you
All those times that you lied, what did it prove to you?
I’m feeling sick of you
All those games that you played, and all the trust you blew
[Verse 3]
The leaves changing from green to red
Snow melts to the ground again
Another reason for me to see through all your lies
Well we couldn’t make it here
Cause it’s been this way for months
Now I can’t change
And I will not fake it
When dishonesty comes around
