Foolish by Melodie Yvonne

If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
It only took one trusted friend and that was you
If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you

It only took one person to cross that line
It only took one person to make me blind
I was lookin’ for somethin’ from you I’d never find
And you should’ve gave me love not just a hooker’s bribe

If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
It only took one trusted friend and that was you
If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you

I know it’s all my fault, so who am I to say
That you started all the trouble that has come my way
But keeping you here in my life each passing day
Drags me further the down wrong way of a packed freeway

You drive a 100 mph and just stand still
You’re the reason people shouldn’t have free will
All your drama grows and oozes like an oil spill
And I gotta say I think I’ve finally had my fill

If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
It only took one trusted friend and that was you
If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you

How the hell can you just sit there in disguise
The evil washes over you before my eyes
And I don’t know how the hell I’m somehow still surprised
By your constant never ending list of alibis

If there’s anyone else to blame then I blame you
If it wasn’t all my fault then have some too
It only took one trusted friend and that was you
And it’s time to say goodbye now ‘cause I think we’re through.
