Don't blame it on your family It's not their fault You can blame it on me Pictures on the mantelpiece Of how it used to be 'Fore you said you were leaving And I won't raise that white flag anymore It's not worth it There's dust on your favorite records under the bed Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow All that weight you're carryin' There's blisters on Your heels and your palms Your opinions are your own Not from some show On the radio, oh And you are old enough now to know better Please consider We were all bound together when you stepped down Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow I spent my time leaning from you You were once my blood and I grew Let's go back to the start Before we fall apart Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow Who could replace the fire when you let go There's only the cold shoulder of your shadow
