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
|
