[Intro - spoken, sneer]
Ladies and gentlemen…
If you’re looking for someone to blame —
I’m right here.
[Evil Laughter]
[Verse 1]
You wear your halo slightly bent
Like it never fit you right
You swear it wasn’t what you meant
But you loved it every night
You shake my hand, you make the deal
You smile like you didn’t know
But when the bill comes due in blood
Suddenly I’m the one you show
[Pre-Chorus]
You need a name, you need a face
To keep your soul in a cleaner place
[Chorus]
Blame it on me — alright!
Say my name tonight
Blame it on me — no shame!
I’m your favorite alibi
You drew the line, you crossed it free
Now stand up straight and look at me
Blame it on me — go on!
I’m the lie you hide behind
[Verse 2]
You talk about the devil’s work
Like you were dragged across the floor
Funny how you knew the words
And still kept coming back for more
You call it fate, you call it sin
Like choice was never yours to make
But you held the knife with steady hands
And liked the mess you made
[Pre-Chorus]
You paint me red, you paint me black
So you don’t see yourself in that
[Chorus]
Blame it on me — alright!
Say my name tonight
Blame it on me — no shame!
I’m your favorite alibi
You drew the line, you crossed it free
Now stand up straight and look at me
Blame it on me — go on!
I’m the lie you hide behind
[Bridge - spoken / half-sung]
I didn’t crawl inside your head
I didn’t move your hands
I just stood back and watched you smile
And call it “out of my command”
Cute.
[Guitar solo]
[Final Chorus - slower, heavier]
Blame it on me — alright!
Say my name tonight
Blame it on me — no shame!
I’m your favorite alibi
You made the mess, you beg to flee
But don’t you dare point back at me
Blame it on me — go on!
I’m the truth you can’t deny
[Outro - spoken]
You don’t need a devil.
You just need a mirror.
Sleep tight.
