Is this how you would say it without changing the meaning?

Two guys have had an argument over something and things have escalated. When they both have calmed down, this is said:

I know things got a little out of hand, and I'm sorry. You don't have to excuse your part in what happened. I started it. I was the idiot.

Is the part in bold correct and how you would say it without changing the meaning?
