It Isn't Always Mine

Well, I thought you might be adding
To the party I was having
So I went ahead and called you on the phone
Even though you were excited
I said you were invited
Well, you never brought a present of your own

And even though you might think,
"All I gotta be is me."
That doesn't mean that you can't take responsibility
And if you lay it on the line
It isn't always mine

Well, even though my friends adored you
From the moment that they saw you
That's not a good excuse to keep you 'round
Go ahead and wear your lampshade
Make believe you understand
They'd see right through you
If they bothered to look down

And even though they might think
That you're right in every way
That doesn't mean you're right
'Cause you make believe and say
It's my fault every time
When it isn't always mine

You always went too far
When there really was no need
Your problems never are
As bad as they could be

It doesn't matter that you've parted
'Cause you know the party started
Long before you set your foot inside the door
And when I close the door behind you
I doubt that I will mind you aren't here
Just like I didn't mind before

And even though you might think
I believed your little song
You were singing to yourself
I knew that all along
You were handing me a line
When you knew it wasn't mine
And it isn't always mine
