I Got Myself Into This

Before you say anything
I want you to know
I got myself into this
And I'm aware of that

I'm fully completely totally aware
That I married you
That I was dumb enough
To marry you

That had I thrown a dart
Into a crowd full of people
I probably would have ended up
With a better husband

I do not blame you
I do not blame you at all
Not even a little bit

As I said, I got myself into this

I got myself into a bad marriage
I got myself into a dead-end job
I got myself into a bad cell phone plan
I got myself into a lousy car
I got myself into at least twenty commitments
That I should have said 'No' to

Again, I refer back to the marriage

I did this all to myself

For years, I complained
And I blamed
Oh, how I blamed

I blamed my mother for making me weak
I blamed my father for making me dependent
I blamed my first boyfriend for giving me trust issues
I blamed my last boyfriend for cementing my trust issues
I blamed the priest for wanting to add one more couple to his roster
Despite the terrified look on my face

But now I blame me
I put the blame solely on me
I put truckloads and carloads
And mountains of blame
All on me

But do you know
What the wonderful thing
About taking the blame is?

You can take it
Anywhere you want

Yup

I got myself into this
And now I gotta get myself out
