| [Verse 1]
|
| I think I knew it from the start
|
| Eventually everything would fall apart
|
| But you believed in the stars
|
| You never thought the lights would guide you back to where you are
|
| I lost my flame and so I told you what you want
|
| Talked my way into a place where I felt safer I thought
|
| I never meant to cause you any harm
|
| I just wanted to speak it
|
| So maybe I'd believe it
|
| [Chorus]
|
| Build the blame and lay it at my feet
|
| I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
|
| It's my fault
|
| Spread the salt and I'll be gone but
|
| The wounds are left to bleed
|
| [Verse 2]
|
| And it was never really right, your hand in mine
|
| But at the time it's what I needed for a stable mind
|
| Kept my secrets and I covered them in lies
|
| Had my reasons and I made sure they were staying disguised
|
| I was bleeding 'cause they cut me like a knife
|
| Your heart was always beating
|
| But I wasn’t meant to keep it
|
| [Chorus]
|
| Build the blame and lay it at my feet
|
| I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
|
| It's my fault
|
| Spread the salt and I'll be gone but
|
| The wounds are left to bleed
|
| And I can fill the space but never find my peace
|
| You take your aim and take the better parts of me
|
| It's my fault
|
| Spread the salt and I'll be gone but
|
| The wounds are left to bleed
|
| [Bridge]
|
| And now we're both left with an emptiness
|
| All alone with no good left to give
|
| Love took the last of it
|
| Sometimes I wonder if I'm meant for this
|
| Will I ever have enough to give?
|
| Love took the last of it
|
| And now I'm cold and stiff
|
| [Chorus]
|
| Build the blame and lay it at my feet
|
| I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
|
| It's my fault
|
| Spread the salt and I'll be gone but
|
| The wounds are left to bleed
|
| And I can fill the space but never find my peace
|
| You take your aim and take the better parts of me
|
| It's my fault
|
| Spread the salt and I'll be gone but
|
| The wounds are left to bleed |
