I'll be your scapegoat

I'm a scapegoat.

Everyone is always looking for someone to blame. In this particular case, I am that someone.
Of course, I was not perfect. I was responsible for causing some problems, for causing some pain.
I admit it and I own it and I have apologized.

But, the depression was already there long before I came along.

And I guess it is utterly painful to think that your inability to do this or that is my fault? You, my friend, are the only one stopping yourself from doing what you want.

And after all, while you were at your very worst I was the only one there to get you help while everyone else was either in denial or had outright given up.

And I put my life on hold and that was the worst I had ever been.

And now that we're done...go ahead...put the blame on me. I'll be your scapegoat.
