Scapegoat (Heart Like Stone)
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.
Verse 1
You couldn't walk in my shoes; if you did well you would be as confused
cuz lonely hearts like mine are hard to find…only if you close your eyes.
So breathless here I stand suffocating on the words you choke me with.
You toss me down, throw me around, and you leave me in the dark.
Yeah you really play with my heart.
Chorus
So go on and blame all my mistakes.
I'll be the scapegoat for your sins and your shame
and then one day you'll be on your own.
That's the life for a heart like stone.
Verse 2
Screw you, I'll sing it again, screw you for the selfish things you did.
I showed you truth and you threw lies back in my face.
Yeah you really wear your crown with grace.
Bridge
Well you blame me for what I did and what I did not do.
Yeah you blame me; well baby I'm throwing it back to you.
