Nobody’s fault but my own
Treated you like a rusty bladeA throwaway from an open graveCut you loose from a chain gangAnd let you goAnd on the day you said it's trueSome love holds, some gets usedTried to tell you I never knewIt could be so sweetWho would ever be so cruelBlame the devil for the things you doIt's such a selfish way to loseThe way you lose these wasted bluesThese wasted blues
Tell me that it's nobody's faultNobody's fault but my own
When the moon is a counterfeitBetter find the one that fitsBetter find the one that lights the way for youWhen the road is full of nailsGarbage pails and darkened jailsAnd the tongues are full of heartless talesThat drain on youWho would ever notice youYou fade into a shaded roomIt's such a selfish way to loseThe way you lose these wasted bluesThese wasted blues
Tell me that it's nobody's faultNobody's fault but my own
