Lyrics
All I could do was try my best
To give you what you need including happiness
So that maybe maybe
I showed you love sang lullabyes
Every time I kissed your head good night
I thought maybe
But how could it be it's in my mind
I kept you next to me most all the time
Hoping maybe
Damn My eyes
They didn't see what they were meant to see
Damn my arms
They shield you from anything
Damn my lips
Didn't kiss away all your pain
Damn this song
Damn this song
I didn't know what you were going through, I didn't know what you were going through
I knew something was wrong I saw it in your eyes
Felt in my dreams, and I heard it in your cries--my sweet baby
Somethin was so wrong my sweet baby
It's not your fault--I blame me
If I'd only maybe
Don't you ever think that you're to blame
It's not your fault my baby
It's not your shame
It's not you shame
