I Don't Blame You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Last time I saw you, you were on stage
Your hair was wild, your eyes were red
And you were in a rage
You were swinging your guitar around
Cause they wanted to hear that sound
But you didn't want to play
And I don't blame you
I don't blame you
Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
And that for all that shit on stage
But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine if when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads
Cause you simply deserve the best
And I don't blame you
They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name
Doesn't mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don't blame you
They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway
I don't blame you
