Who To Blame

Six years tugging at your heart
Left a mark strong as all the love we never spoke about

When we came into this life
Lord, God crossed our paths but we accepted every crossing
and I don't know who to blame

Tiger strong and summer light
Ferris wheel to span the height
My close friend is at your side because it's what we wanted
And I don't know who to blame

It's on the interstate
When I almost asked your hand
I was younger then
And I knew no other option

Windy city to the east
Telephone can barely reach
How deceptive it can be to love a replicated voice
Photographs as envelopes fell like rain along the coast
Water fresher than the ocean but how distance fools you
And I don't know how to blame

It's on the water's edge
When we made our final choice
In the evidence
I can see there is no other

I loved you with all my heart
But my mind persuaded me to wait for second chances
So I don't know who to blame.
