You Can Keep the Blame
TitanChord
Don’t say you’re sorry, I ain’t askin’ for that.
You threw your match, now watch it black.
I ain’t here to trade the pain —
You can keep the blame.
You dressed it up like circumstance,
But every lie had your fingerprints.
I took the fall without a name —
But I ain’t carryin’ your shame.
You can keep the blame,
Wrap it tight in your own name.
I rode out clean, I rode out fast —
Didn’t look once toward the past.
You can cry, you can curse,
But I’ve bled through worse.
And I ain’t settin’ foot back in that flame —
You can keep the blame.
You played the victim with a silver tongue,
While I took heat for what you done.
I wore that guilt like second skin —
’Til I learned how to let it end.
You can keep the blame,
Let it rot, let it stain.
I won’t defend what I didn’t do —
That fire never burned me through.
So talk your talk,
I walk my walk.
And I don’t care what you claim —
You can keep the blame.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
Don’t say you’re sorry, I ain’t askin’ for that. You threw your match, now watch it black. I ain’t here to trade the pain — You can keep the blame. You dressed it up like circumstance, But every lie had your fingerprints. I took the fall without a name — But I ain’t carryin’ your shame. You can keep the blame, Wrap it tight in your own name. I rode out clean, I rode out fast — Didn’t look once toward the past. You can cry, you can curse, But I’ve bled through worse. And I ain’t settin’ foot back in that flame — You can keep the blame. You played the victim with a silver tongue, While I took heat for what you done. I wore that guilt like second skin — ’Til I learned how to let it end. You can keep the blame, Let it rot, let it stain. I won’t defend what I didn’t do — That fire never burned me through. So talk your talk, I walk my walk. And I don’t care what you claim — You can keep the blame.
