i've tried to convince you
that it's not your fault,
that whatever wrong that's happened
is not always
your fault.
it's not your fault,
i'll tell you.
i didn't have to walk away,
you'll whisper,
i could've stayed and listened.
it's not your fault,
i'll tell you.
i could've helped him,
you'll murmur,
all he was needed was somebody
by his side.
it's not your fault,
i'll tell you.
but he blames me,
you'll quietly say, with defeat
in your voice.
it's always easier
to blame someone else
for everything wrong that's happened.
but you found it easier
to blame yourself
for everything wrong that's happened.
