Due to certain circumstances I have used up all my chances You're not the one I love And I'm not like the great pretender I thought I was Now it's too late to start again Just say that it's me protecting my heart again Blame it on me What a messy situation Not a night for celebration You're not the one I love I'm not like the great pretender You thought I was And I was caught up in fantasy Too long I have tried to be What I could not be Blame it on me And I believe that if someone loved you That they would always be there Nothing left for us to talk out Why can't one of us just walk out Too late start again Just say that it's me protecting My heart again And I was caught up, too late In fantasy, too late Too long I could not be Blame it on me You're not the one I love I'm not the perfect lover you thought I was
