Step out of the crossfire
Cause you know it's my place
To take all the bullets and save you from your fall from grace

Just like a personal punch bag
For your stiff upper lip
For better for worse I'm your love, I'm your curse, I'm your Freudian slip


I'm takin' the blame, takin' the blame
Takin' the shame, out on my name

I've given you time, given you all that is mine
I just can't get enough
When you're beating me blind

You're beating me blind, beating me blind, beating me blind
'Til I'm crippled inside


Write out your reasons
With a knife to my skin
I'm so easy to please when I'm down on my knees, you're a war within


I'm out of control, out of control
You're burning a hole, you're burning it all

I've given you time, given you all that is mine
I just can't get enough
When you're beating me blind

You're beating me blind, beating me blind, beating me blind
'Til I'm crippled inside
Beating me blind


I'm takin' the blame, takin' the blame
I'm takin' the shame, out on my name

I've given you time, given you all that is mine girl
I've given you all that is mine
I'm out of control, I'm out of control

You're burning a hole, burning it all
I've given you time, given you all that is mine girl
I've given you all that is mine


Takin' the blame, takin' the blame
Takin' the shame, out on my name

I've given you time, given you all that is mine
I just can't get enough
