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 told her about your absence and your wickedness, yeah, that was me, and I touched her soul

I’m the one who spoke of my bitterness in your arms, it was me
She didn’t even get to name you, I swear it was me
Because we don’t take the blame, I’m the only one who does, she’s got no burden here

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

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 told her about your absence and your wickedness, yeah, that was me, and I touched her soul

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 mean much to us anymore
You stopped caring for me, and that’s what really burns you inside

She knew 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 told her about your absence and your wickedness, yeah, that was me, and I touched her soul

I’m the one who spoke of my bitterness in your arms, it was me
She didn’t even get to name you, I swear it was me
Because we don’t take the blame, or I take it all, she’s got no burden here

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