Only Yourself To Blame
By Linda Lamon

Verse 1

When love changes to hate,
And hands rain down on a lover,
She hopes and prays it’s one mistake,
‘Cos she knows it can’t be over.

For she needs a home for her babes,
So she keeps her pride and hides her shame.
She believes she can cure his ways,
But those blows come back again and again.

Chorus 1

Why, why why she cried
I’ve never done you harm,
Your anger brings out my fear inside,
‘Cos I’m always the one you blame.
Yeah I’m always the one you blame.

Verse 2
Some say she loses her head,
And enjoys bring hurt,
They said she must lie in that bed she made,
She was trapped from the start,

How could she make that break,
With her soul in so much confusion,
But the end to all this heartache,
Was done with resolution!

Chorus 2

‘Bye, ‘bye, ‘bye she cried,
You won’t harm me again,
I’ve lost all that fear inside,
Now you’ve only yourself to blame,
You’ve only yourself to blame.

End
