it's 'bout time that I moved on
That I need to learn to lighten up
and learn how to be young
But my heart is a valley,
it's so shallow and manmade
I'm scared to death if I let you in
that you'll see I'm just a fake
in the arms of your touch
But I know that's just me
'cause nothing ev er is enough
When I was a child I grew up
There was something in the water,
now that something's in me
in my veins In my blood and I stain
every heart that I use to heal the pain
Oh, it's in my roots, in my veins
every heart that I use to heal the pain
So, I blame it on the River Lea,
the River Lea, the River Lea
Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,
the River Lea, the River Lea
I should probably tell you now
That I never meant to hurt you
or lie straight to your face
Consider this my apology,
I know it's years in advance
But, I would rather say it now
in case I nev er get the chance
in my veins In my blood and I stain
every heart that I use to heal the pain
Oh, it's in my roots, in my veins
every heart that I use to heal the pain
So, I blame it on the River Lea,
the River Lea, the River Lea
Yeah, 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 Lea
Yeah, I blame it on the River Lea,
the River Lea, the River Lea,
