Everybody tells me it's 'bout time that I moved onAnd I need to learn to lighten up and learn how to be youngBut my heart is a valley, it's so shallow and man madeI'm scared to death if I let you in that you'll see I'm just a fakeSometimes I feel lonely in the arms of your touchBut I know that's just me, 'cause nothing ever is enoughWhen I was a child I grew up by the River LeaThere was something in the water, now that something's in meOh I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertipsI can't go back to the river
But it's in my roots, it's in my veinsIt's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
But it's in my roots, it's in my veinsIt's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the painSo I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River LeaYeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
I should probably tell you now before it's way too lateThat I never meant to hurt you or lie straight to your faceConsider this my apology, I know it's years in advanceBut I'd rather say it now in case I never get the chanceNo, I can't go back, but the reeds are growing out of my fingertipsI can't go back to the river
But it's in my roots, it's in my veinsIt's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
It's in my roots, it's in my veinsIt's in my blood and I stain every heart that I use to heal the pain
So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River LeaYeah I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
So I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River LeaYeah, I blame it on the River Lea, the River Lea, the River Lea
