Don't blame the song - KMurdock Music Group
See you looking at me sideways when my song come on
Acting like you understand the place I'm coming from
Every melody I wrote came from a broken place
Every harmony you hear is how I learned to face
The nights I couldn't sleep, the tears that wouldn't stop
The way he walked away like everything we had was not
Worth fighting for, worth dying for, worth trying more
So I poured it in these vocals and let it spill across the floor
You say my music's too emotional, too deep, too much
But you ain't never had somebody break your trust
Leave you questioning your worth at 3:00 a.m.
So don't judge what comes out when I pick up this pen
If you don't like my music, don't blame the song
Blame the midnight text that did me wrong
Blame the empty promises, the lies he sold
This is my truth and I'ma let it show
Don't blame the song, blame what made me strong
Every note I sing got history attached to it
Every run I do is running from the past a bit
You hear regression in my tone, that's protection, baby
Years of giving everything and getting maybe
See I could sugarcoat it, make it radio-friendly
But that ain't real and real is what he stole from me
So when you hear that bass drop, heavy in the mix
That's the weight I carried when he left me in that fix
You want some bubblegum, go find another station
This right here is documentation of my transformation
From broken pieces to a woman who won't bend
And if that makes you uncomfortable, we can't pretend
Like my music, don't blame the song
Blame the midnight text that did me wrong
Blame the empty promises, the lies he sold
This is my truth and I'ma let it show
Don't blame the song, blame what made me strong
I sing my pain 'cause silence almost killed me
I share my story 'cause somebody needs to hear it
This ain't just music, this is my survival
Every track a chapter of my revival
So next time you scroll past, acting like you better
Remember every artist got a story in their records
Mine just happens to be raw, unfiltered and direct
'Cause fake was never something I could ever respect
You don't have to like it, you don't have to play it
But don't you dare diminish what my heart is saying
These songs saved my life when I had nothing left
So excuse me if I'm passionate about every breath
I put into this microphone, every ad-lib that I throw
Is me reclaiming power that I thought I'd never know
Again after he left me questioning my name
But look at me now, turning heartbreak into fame
If you don't like my music, don't blame the song
Blame the midnight text that did me wrong
Blame the empty promises, the lies he sold
This is my truth and I'ma let it show
