Blame Me

Verse 1 I’m the last one in, when the lights are still on Doing twice the work they lean upon Every mess they make, every cracked belief When it all goes wrong, they look at me I stay quiet, I stay strong They clap soft, but they shout when I’m wrong When the numbers fall and the cracks all show There’s one name they always throw Chorus So blame me, put it on my name Call me guilty, play your game I bend, I don’t break that easily I can take the weight you’re leaving Blame me, if it sets you free I know you — you don’t know me I’ll hold it down till I can leave Blame me, yeah, blame me Verse 2 I fix the cracks you hide away Smile and nod at what you say “Just the new one” — that’s your tone Like that word decides my role Every scar just made me wise I feel the truth behind your lies They can’t face what they see So they put it all on me Chorus So blame me, put it on my name Call me guilty, play your game I bend, I don’t break that easily I can take the weight you’re leaving Blame me, if it helps you sleep I see promises you can’t keep I’ll walk away eventually Blame me, yeah, blame me Bridge You think silence makes me weak But I hear everything you speak Pressure only shapes the flame And I’ll rise above the blame Final Chorus / Outro Chorus So blame me, put it on my name Call me guilty, play your game I bend, I don’t break that easily I can take the weight you’re leaving Blame me, if it helps you sleep I see promises you can’t keep I’ll walk away eventually Blame me, yeah, blame me
