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 [x2]
