It Wasnt Me — текст песни (Lou Reed)

It wasnt me who shamed you

Its not fair to say that

You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that

It wasnt me who hurt you

Thats more credit that Im worth

Dont threaten me with the things youll do to you



It wasnt me who shamed you

It wasnt me who brought you down

You did it to yourself without any help from me

It wasnt me who hurt you

I showed you possibilities

The problems you had were there before you met me



I didnt say this had to be

You cant blame these things on me

It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me

I know shes dead, it wasnt me



It wasnt me who changed you

You did it to yourself

Im not an excuse for the hole you dropped in

Im not simple minded

But Im 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 wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me

I know hes dead but it wasnt me



It wasnt me who shamed you

Who covered you with mud

You did it to yourself without any help from me

You act as I couldve told you

Or stopped you like some god

But people never listen and you know that thats a fact



I never said slit your wrists and die

I never said throw your life away

It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me

Youre killing yourself, you cant blame me
