No I don't blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don't blame you for needing your own space But lately my world's stuck in monochrome Just a slip up here and there, just when I'm stressed out A bad first impression or a party I need to get out The years progress, thought I was having some success But only so much can be suppressed Before your mind becomes a mess And I don't blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don't blame you for needing your own space But lately my world's stuck in monochrome Finding help is not as easy as it should be A constant crush of questions - is this real or is it just me? But you just need to breathe, emotional serenity Feel your pulse maintain its beat while I get the help I need And I don't blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don't blame you for needing your own space But lately my world's stuck in monochrome So take the time you need, and we'll be alright And I don't blame you for taking time away When I thought I could do this on my own And I don't blame you for needing your own space But lately my world's stuck in monochrome No I don't blame you for packing up tonight I know I've made this hard to feel like home So take your time and I know we'll be alright And someday we won't live in monochrome
