1ST VERSE:

To be fair, I was never fair to you

Even when you were the best to me

5 years have winded into havoc

You had every right to leave

After all, it was just temporary

Cause eventually you came back to me


PRE-CHORUS:

And when you did, I just made it complicated

By not taking it easy and immediately catching feelings

All this should've been confiscated

If I could, I'd certainly erase it

Except to me, all those memories are sacred


CHORUS:

To clear up the smoke in this fire I started

It's time I ought to start being totally honest

And now I can't reverse it

The gasoline I spilled was was my crime

I'll hold myself accountable this time

The fault lied within me all along

Most of what I said, I was so wrong

The fault lied within me all along

I'm sorry for causing this

No, I'll never move on


2ND VERSE:

It's true, every now and then I've mentioned you behind your back

The fault lies in me thinking you'd never comprehend

And take what I have to say as utterly bad

I'm afraid that it'll be the last straw and you'll be mad

I've been doing everything to salvage what we had

Even if it means not directly speaking what's on my mind

And when I finally think it's the right time to confess so in spite

I fear a trajectory, irreversible fight


PRE-CHORUS:

The past and present me, no, I won't defend her

It haunts me every night cause I remember

Words we exchanged through out December


CHORUS:

To clear up the smoke in this fire I started

It's time I ought to start being totally honest

And now I can't reverse it

The gasoline I spilled was was my crime

I'll hold myself accountable this time

The fault lied within me all along

Most of what I said, I was so wrong

The fault lied within me all along

I'm sorry for causing this

No, I'll never move on


BRIDGE:

My perception towards last year is unstable

The lies I speak are all just a deceitful fable

Merely one-sided, never knowing your tale

But I'm no longer blind to vividly see I've caused damage

Leading us to switch lanes on the train's rail

Crashing into fatal disadvantage


CHORUS/OUTRO:

So I'll hold myself accountable

The fault lied within me all along

Most of what I said, I was so wrong

The fault lied within me all along

I'm sorry for causing this

No, I'll never move on
