Not My Fault - The Chase

It's all the same You say we can never be this way But do you mean it? Do you mean it? It's your same look on a different couch After all of our sparking about Is this the moment? That you go for it? Friends know before I reveal my secret When my vision's transfixed on dancing lips And while they all root for our glances You know that we'll never take the chances Instead, I'll Wake up everyday Check if time has explained The hope in waiting on a girl who's taken Weeks, months, close enough Come hear under the hush And know just what I'm thinking of You whisper close that you know It's not my fault Not my fault And I won't wreck love just to Keep you all to myself When those criminals made September a living hell But you renewed me, baby, I lied When I swore there was one love to my life So I'll keep wishing, staring, hoping if it has ever Crossed your mind that I Wake up everyday Check if time has explained The hope in waiting on a girl who's taken Weeks, months, close enough Come hear under the hush And know just what I'm thinking of You whisper close that you know It's not my fault Not my fault

What have we left I seem incapable Of extracting whatever it is That is causing the pain that it spreads I seem incapable Of extracting whatever it is That is causing the pain that it spreads

You're only human So am I It's such a shame we have these secrets and lies That get discovered from time to time Whatever rises eventually falls The world turns and it turns on us all You can't live life without making mistakes You can't live trying to keep the outside world away It's time to stop Beating yourself up It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault I broke a mirror Maybe two Shattered reflections That's all I have of you Crackin' like eggshell beneath my fear I couldn't breathe, I couldn't keep the outside world away Oh dear When you lie down to sleep Repeat after me It's not your fault It's not your fault It's not your fault We're both so tired It's not your fault It's just the way we're wired
