It Was Me

It Was Me
When I ran out
Of excuses
Found out
What I couldn’t see
From the high hopes
To what’s-the-uses
Found out
What just had to be
It wasn’t someone
Or something else
It wasn’t you
It was me
It wasn’t someone
Or anything else
It wasn’t you
It was me
When I hit doubt
And confusion
Reached out
For a remedy
In a whisper
A voice of reason
Called out
The answer to me
It wasn’t someone
Or something else
It wasn’t you
It was me
It wasn’t someone
Or anything else
It wasn’t you
It was me
This is no apology
No finger aimed to blame
Wanting you to know I see
My life will never
Be the same
Been a tough fight
Beyond endurance
Knocked out
Blind injuries
Through the long night
The morning’s promise
Shined out
Like lightening to me
It wasn’t someone
Or something else
It wasn’t you
It was me
It wasn’t someone
Or anything else
It wasn’t you
It wasn’t you
It wasn’t you
It
Was
Me
