I lost an island in the ocean
The place where nickels come to gamble on their faces
She took the offer to be the daughter
We pledge allegiance to the one who offers social graces

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me

'Cause I'm in over my head
In over my head, it's for the best

I ripped up the picture, the one in the kitchen
I looked weak, my eyes they gave it all away
I don't deny it, I still haven't found it
I proudly wear the scars, I've challenged every crutch so far

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me

'Cause I'm in over my head
In over my head, it's for the best
And I'm in over my head
In over my head, it's for the best, yes

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me

'Cause I'm in over my head
In over my head, it's for the best
And I'm in over my head
In over my head, it's for the best
