You see yourself in it
You relate to it
If even just a little bit
You don't want it to be true
For him
Because it would be true
For you
You recognize it
But you never knew it was wrong
It can't be wrong
That can't be the truth
You aren't a bad guy
That's what you tell yourself
If he's guilty
Then you're guilty
You don't feel guilty
You can't be guilty
So you defend him
You defend yourself
You justify the unjustifiable
That can't be the truth
Not for him
Not for you
