Fault In Me

 

When it fell, you took it down, stuck it in a place to hide

The corners worn away, and leaning to the side

In a different light you’d see its collectability

But it would still be old, broken, and in the way

 

What we wanted could never be

What we had we could never see

How I felt I could never say

All feelings can’t be dead

If you want now I’ll set you free

And try the way it would always be

If you’re right then it’s fine to find

The fault in me instead

 

When you left, it broke me down; I felt left out and bound to fail

Although I’ve rearranged, comparison’s been pale

If you took another try, would you still be mortified

To see that nothing’s changed, the difference down inside

 

And I don’t think it’s mine, but I can’t see the way

There’s a break in the line missing every happy day

 

When I see you out, I’m sure affection still remains the cure

I ask you how you’ve been, and sounding insecure

Harping on, I need to plead, misunderstanding now is clear

But you can’t even look; my eyes are full of tears

 

What we wanted could never be

What we had we could never see

How I felt I could never say

All feelings can’t be dead

If you want now I’ll set you free

Just giving up as I sit in bed

In the night there’s a cure, to find

Some fault in you instead
