she said she had to blame me
she said she had no choice
she had to blame me
she felt she had no choice
because she couldn't blame herself
I could hear it in her voice
she said I was at fault
or so she did believe
it was all my fault
that was what she did conceive
I was the only one who's guilty
and of that there's no reprieve
she said she was as pure as driven snow
and I was dirty as the mud
white and pure as driven snow
while I was out there in the mud
but if she'd looked down at her hands
she'd see she'd covered them with blood
so she had to blame me
because she couldn't face the truth
she blamed me
and the blame was absolute
she said that I was guilty as a sin
and I'd stolen all her youth
so if this happens
if this should happen next to you
don't let it happen
because you know it isn't true
life is much too short to blame
someone else for what you do
