El Culpable (part. Rolando Ochoa)

Why do you come to insult her when she’s not to blame?
She’s more of a victim than you and me, and she’s still not upset.
I owe her an explanation and God an apology,
I swore there was nothing between us, and she was honest.

My pain hit her hard, loneliness on my skin,
She felt my heart, and something tasted sweet to her.
She didn’t get in between us,
She didn’t have a stake in this.

And if you’re gonna blame someone, the guilty one is me.
The one who told you lies to your face was me.
The one who shared your absence and your wickedness, yeah, that was me, I was touching her soul.

Who talked to her about my bitterness in your arms was me.
She didn’t even get to mention your name, I swear it was me.
Because we don’t take the blame, or I’ll take it all, she’s not carrying anything here.

I’m the result of your forgetfulness, though I don’t justify it, it’s clear and it’s been said.

I’ll never normalize wanting to swim in both waters.
I have to bear the cross of being the creator of this mess.
I’m gonna free myself even if it doesn’t matter much to us anymore.
You stopped caring for me, and that’s what really burns you deep down.

She got to know me, where I lost you.
She knew about me what you don’t know.
She didn’t get in between us,
She didn’t have a stake in this.

And if you’re gonna blame someone, the guilty one is me.
The one who told you lies to your face was me.
The one who shared your absence and your wickedness, yeah, that was me, I was touching her soul.

Who talked to her about my bitterness in your arms was me.
She didn’t even get to mention your name, I swear it was me.
Because we don’t take the blame, or I’ll take it all, she’s not carrying anything here.

I’m the result of your forgetfulness, though I don’t justify it, it’s clear and it’s been said.
