It Wasn`t Me — текст песни (Lou Reed)

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 me, 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 me, it wasn`t me, it wasn`t me
I know he`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 me, it wasn`t me, it wasn`t me
you`re killing yourself, you can`t blame me
