 x4
 The  last time  I saw you, you  were on stage
 Your hair  was wild, your eyes were  bright
 And you  were in a rage
 You were swinging  your guitar  around
 Cause they wanted  to hear  that sound
 But you didn’t  want to play
 And  I don’t blame  you.
I  don’t  blame  you
 Been around the world, in many situations
 Been inside many heads in different positions
 But you never wanted them that way
 What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay.
 And that for all that shit on stage
 But it never made sense to them anyway
 Could you imagine if when they turned their backs
 They were only scratching their heads
 Cause you simply deserve the best
 And I don’t blame you
 They said you were the best
 But then they were only kids
 Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
 Just because they knew your name
 Doesn’t mean they know from where you came
 What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
 But I don’t blame you
 They never owned it
 And you never owed it to them anyway
 I don’t blame you

Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay.
And that for all that shit on stage

But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine if when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads
Cause you simply deserve the best
And I don’t blame you

They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name
Doesn’t mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don’t blame you

They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway

I don’t blame you
