You’ve went and done it all again
But I’ve no rights left to complain
I can’t stop falling for your games
And I’ve only got myself to blame
I thought that I was done with you
I thought I’d reached a real breakthrough
But every time it ends the same
And I’ve only got myself to blame
Why do you have this hold over me
Why can’t I move on and finally be free
I’ve no clue at all if that was your aim
And I’ve only got myself to blame
I know that this heartache, isn’t going to last
But I thought that these feelings, were all in the past
They make me feel weak, pathetic and lame
And I’ve only got myself to blame
I hate that you have complete control
Over my mind, my heart and my soul
But honestly that’s a rather self indulgent claim
In truth, I’ve only, got myself to blame
It’s taken this long but now I’ve finally learned
That your love and affection has never been earned
I know we’ll never be and do you know the real shame
Is I’ve only got my foolish, lovelorn self to blame

The rhythm and rhyme really emphasises the regret and shame of the speaker – so powerful 🙂
