Not Your Fault
Walking across the highway
Helps me to recall
The selfish satisfaction
Hidden beneath it all
Sleeping two years later
I promised myself paper-thick
Its easy cause you never looked at me
And sharing was the trick
But tonight you have to start again
It's not your fault
Not your fault
You are sorry
But it's not your fault
Not your fault
Mixing praise with poison
On surfaces of rock
You built your dreams on airplane air
And keeping out of family fog
Turning balloons in circles
My shirt's on inside-out
Writing to each other
While thinking to ourselves
But tonight you start to understand
That it's not your fault
Not your fault
You are sorry
But it's not your fault
Not your fault
BRIDGE
You finally departed
Running away
I'm feeling disregarded
But I will stay
You don't know why you are leaving
Running away
The grass will be greener
If I stay
