Tender Blame Lyrics

[Intro]
Speed signal processing

[Verse 1]
No, I don't even know anymore
If I'm sick or I found a cure
Got a fever and a cold sweat
Try to sleep but the sheets are wet

[Pre-Chorus]
You did this to me
When I tried to intervene
Tried to make you stop
Before you went and hurt somebody else
You can blame yourself
And gather dust upon the shelf
You thought you were anyone's
Girl, you ain't having me

[Chorus]
Tried to take my love, oh
I won't give it up, won't give it up for you
You tried to take my love, oh
I won't give it up, won't give it up, no, not for you

[Verse 2]
But you stripped me down
Wore me to the bone
I am hollow now
Nowhere else to go
Running to your open arms
Like you tempt me from the street
I am praying to prodigal
With nothing else to eat

[Pre-Chorus]
You did this to me
When I tried to intervene
Tried to make you stop
Before you went and hurt somebody else
You can blame yourself
And gather dust upon the shelf
You thought you were anyone's
Girl, you ain't having me

[Chorus]
Tried to take my love, oh
I won't give it up, won't give it up for you
You tried to take my love, oh
I won't give it up, won't give it up, no, not for you
