SOUNDS LIKE BLAME

Sounds Like Blame

words and music by Dean Batstone

You needed me

You wanted me to need you

I wanted you to need me to be more than always there

I loved you

And when I said I love you

I know now why that’s what you needed most to hear

Your words and my words

Fall like rain and drown our flames

More words, or no words

Without love, all sound the same

Sounds like blame

It’s confusing

This loving and losing

Sight of what we want, all that we can see is what we’ve done

And the truth is

The truth is lost somewhere

And without it, there is nothing to be won

Ours tears fill a river of cold consequences

It’s breaking our will, and numbing our senses

‘Til we can’t fight this current anymore

Lost together, but we swim for different shores

I’m shaking

My heart is breaking

Am I losing love I fought so hard to hold

I can’t hold you

You can’t hold me

We can’t hold on to what won’t stand up on it’s own
