[Verse 1]
You slam the door like it’s a gavel
Turn the hallway to a trial
My footprints on the carpet
Somehow ruin your whole life
A glass breaks in the kitchen
You don’t even have to think
My name’s already rising
On the edge of every drink
[Chorus]
You blame my name
For every crack in all your stories
Every bill
Every empty morning
You lay it on me
Lay it on me
You curse my face
For every ghost inside your mirror
But your rage just makes it clearer
You’re the one who’s drowning
Blame my name
[Verse 2]
You point at math I never failed
At lovers who never knew me
At jobs you quit
At fists you raised
And swear it’s all my cruelty
You twist the past like sheets at night
Till every knot looks like my fault
But there’s a kid inside your shouting
Still waiting in the darkened hall
[Chorus]
You blame my name
For every crack in all your stories
Every bill
Every empty morning
You lay it on me
Lay it on me
You curse my face
For every ghost inside your mirror
But your rage just makes it clearer
You’re the one who’s drowning
Blame my name
[Bridge]
I used to carry every word
Like a backpack full of bricks (so heavy)
Thought if I was small enough
You might finally quit
But you’re addicted to the hurting
You’re in love with every scar
And I’m done playing lightning
For your broken
Borrowed storm
[Chorus]
So blame my name
If it keeps you from the truth you’re fearing
If it drowns out what you’re hearing
Scream it till you’re hoarse
Till you’re empty
Blame my name
But I’m not staying here to take it
You can keep the mess you made
I’ll break it
When I walk away
You lose your blame
You just say my name
And it’s only you
It’s only you
