Last time I saw you, you were on stage

Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright

And you were in a rage

You were swinging your guitar around

Cuz they wanted to hear that sound

But you didn't want to play

And I don't blame you

I don't blame you

Been around the world, in many situations

Been inside many heads in different positions

But you never wanted them that way

What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay

Them back for all that **** on stage

But it never made sense to them anyway

Could you imagine when they turned their backs

They were only scratching their heads

Cuz you simply deserve the best

And I don't blame you

I don't blame you

They said you were the best

But then they were only kids

Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in

Just because they knew your name

Doesn't mean they know from where you came

What a sad trick you thought that you had to play

But I don't blame you

They never owned it

And you never owed it to them anyway

I don't blame you
