Fault

My dear friend

What do I have to say?

Must I sing it in your lullaby?

There are others around

That care and protect

But they are not me

So I can't speak for them

But I know the words

That float around my heart


It's not your fault

It's not your fault

They took you

And used you, and threw you away

Now you cry around,

for those to behave

Well, maybe humans weren't meant to behave

But you think it is wrong

Sometimes it is

But it's not your fault

It's not your fault

It's not your fault


He doesn't want to hurt you

He doesn't want to scare you

But you run

And run hard

I wont let you run

But I can only do so much

Don't run from him

He's pleading you to stay

Don't run away from him

And throw away the years of care


It's not your fault

It's not your fault

They took you

And used you, and threw you away

Now you cry around,

for those to behave

Well, maybe humans weren't meant to behave

But you think it is wrong

Sometimes it is

But it's not your fault

It's not your fault

It's not your fault


I don't want to hurt you,

I don't want to make you scream

But something's gotta happen

Or something else will break

I don't want to watch you fall apart

Tearing off your own face

Contorting your own image

You're scared and running

Trying to fool them all


It's not your fault

It's not your fault

They took you

And used you, and threw you away

Now you cry around,

for those to behave

Well, maybe humans weren't meant to behave

But you think it is wrong

Sometimes it is

But it's not your fault

It's not your fault

It's not your fault


Please don't run

We need you here

Please don't run

Let us hold you near

Please don't run, we told you before

You can always be here,

Just like before

Let us care

Let us hold you

Let us protect you

If you will only stop running


Don't hurt yourself

The others have, isn't that enough

How else can I say that I care?

Here's my heartbeat

Hear it, its human, just like you

It's not perfect

It's flawed, just like everything

Questions and riddles that will go unanswered

Just let me be here

And let me be with you


It's not your fault

It's not your fault

They took you

And used you, and threw you away

Now you cry around,

for those to behave

Well, maybe humans weren't meant to behave

But you think it is wrong

Sometimes it is

But it's not your fault

It's not your fault

It's not your fault


Dear friend, have I made my point?

And this is your lullaby

This is your lullaby

Like a heart beats to rhythm

The words make a promiseā€¦


I'm not leaving

I'm not leaving

I'm not leaving

I'm not leaving
