Verse 1
We were somewhere in between a line we never drew
Close enough to feel it, never close enough for truth
You could pull me in, then push me out the door
I kept comin’ back like I was askin’ for more
You knew every button, every wire in my chest
Lit ‘em up for fun, left me dealin’ with the rest
Yeah I let it happen, yeah I played along
Now you’re actin’ like I’m the only one that’s wrong
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I know I crossed a line I shouldn’t cross that night
But you don’t gotta turn me into your alibi
⸻
Chorus
If it makes you feel better, go on blame my name
Blame it on the words in every song I sang
Blame it on me for the time I wasted
Say I couldn’t love you, couldn’t ever face it
Blame it on me, yeah I’ll take that weight
If it helps you sleep at the end of the day
You can twist it up, tell it how you want
If it makes you feel better—say I’m what went wrong
⸻
Verse 2
Now it’s radio silence, guess I said too much
Guess the truth don’t sit right when it’s out of touch
I didn’t say your name, didn’t paint it clear
But you heard yourself when it hit your ears
And I get it, yeah, nobody wants that light
Shinin’ on the parts that they try to hide
But don’t act like I built this on my own
Takes two people walkin’ down that road
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Yeah I own my part, I ain’t dodgin’ that
But you don’t get clean just by paintin’ me black
⸻
Chorus
If it makes you feel better, go on blame my name
Blame it on the words in every song I sang
Blame it on me for the time I wasted
Say I couldn’t love you, couldn’t ever face it
Blame it on me, yeah I’ll take that weight
If it helps you sleep at the end of the day
You can twist it up, tell it how you want
If it makes you feel better—say I’m what went wrong
⸻
Bridge (stripped, real quiet)
Go on tell ‘em I was drunk, I was outta line
That I made it up, crossed a line this time
If it lets you walk away clean and free
Go ahead… put it all on me
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger, emotional)
If it makes you feel better, go on blame my name
Drag it through the dirt, wash away the shame
Blame it on me, every word you’re sayin’
Every bit of truth that you keep reframin’
Blame it on me, yeah I’ll take the fall
Even if it ain’t how it was at all
If it gives you peace, I won’t make a sound
If it makes you feel better—just lay it down
