It's Not Your Fault

I’m scorched aflame by passionate desire You weren’t the one who heartlessly threw me Into the rainbow flames of the undying fire It isn’t your fault at all, my baby of empathy Scorch aflame with me today or tonight, Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight Fire me away entirely and let go out of sight Burn away the lament and fight for peace with your might It isn’t your fault, oh no it never was your fault That I’m so lost and my dreams went to a halt Caught in darkness and its chains Dealing awfully with its daily pains It isn’t your fault, your fault I fell into corruption’s occult And now I’m trying to get out No doubt I’m trying to walk His route Clap your hands and dance into the fire now You weren’t the one who refused my hand And resentfully and spitefully ran so fast somehow It isn’t your fault at all, don’t you understand? Scorch aflame with me today or tonight, Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight Fire me away entirely and let go out of sight Burn away the lament and fight for peace with your might It isn’t your fault, oh no it never was your fault That I’m so lost and my dreams went to a halt Caught in darkness and its chains Dealing awfully with its daily pains It isn’t your fault, your fault I fell into corruption’s occult And now I’m trying to get out No doubt I’m trying to walk His route I watched you fall away into the abyssal vortex I tried to grab your hand and make things less complex But, I ended up constantly blaming myself for your crestfallen soul My heart bleeds and beats and bears so much burdens for you as a whole Scorch aflame with me today or tonight, Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight Fire me away entirely and let go out of sight Burn away the lament and fight for peace with your might It isn’t your fault, oh no it never was your fault That I’m so lost and my dreams went to a halt Caught in darkness and its chains Dealing awfully with its daily pains It isn’t your fault, your fault I fell into corruption’s occult And now I’m trying to get out No doubt I’m trying to walk His route Baby, it’s not your fault It’s my own and I own it - well, I hope you know Baby, it’s not your fault It’s all because of me and that’s why I’m so low It isn’t your fault, your fault I fell into corruption’s occult And now I’m trying to get out No doubt I’m trying to walk His route
