It Wasn`t Me — текст песни (John Cale)

Words and music: Lou Reed & John Cale

It wasn`t me who shamed you, it`s not fair to say that
You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that
It wasn`t me who hurt you, that`s more credit that I`m worth
Don`t threaten me with the things you`ll do to you

It wasn`t me who shamed you, it wasn`t me who brought you down
You did it to yourself without any help from me
It wasn`t me who hurt you, I showed you possibilities
The problems you had were there before you met me

I didn`t say this had to be
You can`t blame these things on me
It wasn`t , it wasn`t me, it wasn`t me
I know she`s dead, it wasn`t me

It wasn`t me who changed you, you did it to yourself
I`m not an excuse for the hole you dropped in
I`m not simple minded but I`m not father to you at all
Death exists but you do things to yourself

I never said give up control
I never said stick a needle in your arm and die
It wasn`t , it wasn`t me, it wasn`t me
I know she`s dead but it wasn`t me

It wasn`t me who shamed you, who covered you with mud
You did it to yourself without any help from me
You act as I could`ve told you or stopped you like some god
But people never listen and you know that that`s a fact

I never said slit your wrists and die
I never said throw your life away
It wasn`t , it wasn`t me, it wasn`t me
You`re killing yourself - you can`t blame me
