Blame My Heart

[Verse 1]
Tired eyes
Same ceiling
Cracked paint
Same feeling
Phone lit
No names
Just bills
Just blame
Got a past full of ghosts that still text me
They only hit when they need somethin’ from me
Said they ride, then they slid when it got heavy
Left me holdin’ every word like it’s a weapon
Mama said
“Watch friends”
I ain’t listen
I just let ‘em in
Fed ‘em from a plate that I ain’t finished
Now I’m starvin’ in a house I built for critics
[Chorus]
I just want love
Not a courtroom in my kitchen
I just want friends
I can call my family, not a witness
Why you walk away, then blame my heart?
Why you burn the bridge, then call it dark?
I just want love
But they point at me like I’m the villain (yeah)
[Verse 2]
They say “you too much”
Then leave me with nothin’
Say “I changed up”
When I just stopped runnin’
From the truth:
You ain’t real, you just hungry
You ain’t care how I feel, you just wanted company
Every fight
I’m the bad guy
You throw stones
Then you act blind
Read my scars like a script for your excuses
Every bruise on my back got your blueprint
Anger in my jaw when I clench it
Tears in my throat, can’t send ‘em
So I bleed in these lines, you don’t get it
You just screenshot pain for attention
[Chorus]
I just want love
Not a target on my chest, man
I just want friends
Who don’t leave when it’s a dead end
Why you walk away, then blame my heart?
Why you crack the frame, then call it art?
I just want love
But they point at me like I’m the problem (oh)
[Bridge]
If it’s me every time
Then why you still circle my life?
Why you still drink from this well
If the water ain’t right?
If I’m wrong, let me go
Cut the cord, close the door, let me know
But you cling, then you swing, then you cry
And you swear it’s my soul that’s cold
[Chorus]
I just want love
Not a cross with my name on it
I just want friends
Who don’t turn when the blame’s on ‘em
Why you walk away, then blame my heart?
Why you break my trust, then call it smart?
I just want love
Just a few real ones I can call my family
