you blame it on me, your defensive ways
your short responses, and disaffected gaze
you blame it on me, tears down my face
your sarcastic tone, that creeps in, everyday
questioning all of my decisions
making me feel like i’m the villain
you don’t feel anything
when i’m hyperventilating
cause you’re always shifting shifting, shifting, shifting, shifting the blame
you blame it on me, say i don’t communicate
who’s dodging questions, looking for an escape?
who’s playing mind games, spewing false claims?
how do you not feel shame?
act with integrity
take accountability
have an ounce of empathy
what if you were me?
did you think i would believe your non-apology?
why can’t you say sorry?
cause i can’t just sit
cause i can’t just sit
cause i can’t just sit
no i can’t just sit here and be your target
from now on your blame will ricochet
i won’t let you compromise my day
no way
