Side of Blame

Lyrics

Verse 1
You took the night
And called it mine
Left your shoes by the door
Like nothing crossed the line

Your phone kept buzzing
Face turned cold
I saw the truth in your eyes
Before the story got told

Pre-Chorus
Then the tears came fast
And the blame came quick
You made me the shadow
You made me the sick

But I held my tongue
For the children's sake
Still your words cut deep
Like a river breaks

Chorus
You point at me
You point at me
Like I was the fire
That burned your tree

You point at me
You point at me
But I know the lie
And I know what I see

Verse 2
You said I was cruel
You said I was hard
While you hid your footsteps
Behind the yard

Now the kids ask why
The house feels split
And I make their plates
Like the world still fits

I don't want war
I don't want shame
I just want the truth
To call its name

Pre-Chorus
But you spin it fast
Turn wrong to right
Paint my hands black
In the middle of night

And it hurts to hear
How the blame gets cast
When the real wound sits
Where the trust fell past

Chorus
You point at me
You point at me
Like I was the fire
That burned your tree

You point at me
You point at me
But I know the lie
And I know what I see

Bridge
I carry the weight
Of the broken room
Of tiny shoes
And a bitter moon

Don't make me the beast
To cover your shame
Don't teach the children
A lie with my name

Final Chorus
You point at me
You point at me
Like I was the fire
That burned your tree

You point at me
You point at me
But I know the lie
And I know what I see

I won't be blamed
I won't be blamed
For a wound you made
And a borrowed name
