You can blame it on the small things 
You can blame it on your heartbeat 
The wrong day 
You can blame it on your regrets 
And all your little secrets 
You keep them 
You can show me all your old scars 
That you got from all the old wars 
You fought so you could tell me 
"I'm not the one who needs the saving"

You can say what you want but it's only getting better 
It's alright, oh baby it's alright 
You can try to deny but it's only getting better 
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now 
You think it feels right but you don't know 
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure 
You can say what you please if it's all that you need 
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me 

There's a million ways to hold on 
To everything that goes wrong, the sad songs 
Oh but all these different reasons 
Are just a million different ways to say the same old thing 
Now tell me, "I'm not the one who needs the saving"

You can say what you want but it's only getting better 
It's alright, oh baby it's alright 
You can try to deny but it's only getting better 
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now 
You think it feels right but you don't know 
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure 
You can say what you please if it's all that you need 
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me 

You can blame it on me 
You can blame it on me 
You can blame it on the small things 

Say what you want but it's only getting better 
It's alright, oh baby it's alright 
You can try to deny but it's only getting better 
It's alright, oh baby it's alright now 
You think it feels right but you don't know 
You've got everything you wanted but you're not sure 
You can say what you please if it's all that you need 
To believe it's getting better, you can blame it on me 
You can blame it on me [x2] 
Come on
