Question

it's from the mid nineties, the guy singing it is male. it's a ballad of sorts, melancholy.,silently angry but resigned.
it begins (not sure if it's the second verse or the first):
my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
his girl took a week's worth of value and left him
now he's guilt stricken solace with his head on the floor...

can't be held responsible
he was touching her face
won't be held responsible
she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me
i cannot remember
what made us think taht we were wise and we'd never compromise


that's about all i can remember.
any ideas? i think it was written in D minor.

Answer 1

The Freshmen

When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt stricken
Sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

I can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We'd never compromise
For the life of me I can not believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's
Vacation to forget her
His girl took a weeks's worth of
Valium and slept
Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his
Head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really
Wept he says

Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise
And we'd never compromise
For the life of me I can not believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

We've tried to wash our hands of all this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our
Heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to
Slip, we'd say

Can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
For the life of me I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise
And we'd never compromise
For the life of me I can not believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen
