Went out with some friends of mine
That use to play the game
We lost and so predictably
They said I was to blame
They said I didn't care for them
Cared only for myself
And so without a second thought
I put them on the shelf, on the shelf
There was a boy that I once knew
He use to hang around
He dropped by the other day
He said I let him down
He told me that I used him
Just to get my way
And so without another word
I made him go away, go away
Thinking 'bout my life today
From whence and where it came
And so characteristically
I hold myself to blame
I wonder where I'll lead myself
And if I'll ever change
I guess it's really up to me
And that's what's really strange, really strange
Now I don't think it's tragic
And I won't take the blame
So I don't feel any pain at all
