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
