Was it some black cat that I stumbled past or was it
some four-leaf clover I passed right over?
Was it me messin' up again or was it you finally gettin' sober?

Are you dopesick? Did your last fix do the trick?
Is all your suffering finally over?
Who's to blame? Who's to blame? Who's to blame?

Year after year we make the same mistakes,
it's tragic how sad we both seem.
Like two young birds, capable of flight, but afraid to flap our wings.

Was it this black cat that I've been staring right
at or was it some four-leaf clover I passed right over?
Was it me getting high for the millionth time or was
it you finally getting sober?

Am I dopesick? Am I hopeless?
If I don't kick this moment will I blow this?
Would anybody notice if I just started over?
Who's to blame? Who's to blame? Who's to blame?

Love or hate, envy or distaste,
we could never just be friends.
You're too unlucky, I couldn't let you love me,
there's only one way this could end.
