Put the Blame On Me

Another day with you, I'm getting fitted for a millstone

It would've been better, had I left you alone

So, if Jesus finds you begging unbelief

Put the blame on me

I never failed to cry for you, I never failed to pray

I guess that fails to matter to your blue eyes today

As they saw me stealing justice like a thief

Put the blame on me

Don't blame the truth if you love the lie

Don't blame the deacon's gun

Don't blame a preacher, prophet, or a priest

But if it makes it easy, put the blame on me

If I told you where to look, but failed to tell you what to find

If I led you down the road that had a twisted center line

Or if I fed your dark sensibility

Put the blame on me

Don't blame your doubt if you fear belief

Don't even blame your pain

Don't blame a burden only you can see

But if it makes it easy, put the blame on me

Don't blame the truth if you love the lie

Don't blame the deacon's gun

Don't blame a preacher, prophet, or a priest

Don't blame your doubt if you hate belief

Don't even blame your pain

Don't blame a man pinned naked on a tree

Who died perfectly desperate, who loves you desperately

No, put the blame on me

Put the blame on me

Put the blame on me
