Fingers Crossed

I make every excuse for you I can make

You wear your ignorance like a cloak in which you hide

All your mistakes

You wear a smile that belies

A sadness a mile wide

Fingers crossed what you've buried won't be found

While it shapes every piece of what you are now

 

It couldn't be your fault could it?

It could never be your fault

It must be mine

Well it's never your fault baby

You still can't see that it's your fault

It must be mine

 

Self preservation is the lens through which you see

You've known it from day one in your flawed and disjointed family

Hurt people hurt people is the mantra to which you drown

Fingers crossed the pain won't get passed down

Of course it will how do you think it gets around?

 

It couldn't be your fault could it?

It could never be your fault

It must be mine

Well it's never your fault baby

You still can't see that it's your fault

I know it's mine

You still can't see that it's your fault

I know it's mine

 

Remember when we held hands in the pictures

Remember hating skating in the park

Remember when we ate ice cream for breakfast

Who could have ever thought who could have ever thought

Who could have ever thought

 

It would make no difference if you said you were sorry now

In fact I can't imagine you doing it without laughing out loud

Like blaming some roadkill for messing up my car

Your life is one long drawn out childhood scar

And I can't believe you've even made it this far

 

It couldn't be your fault could it?

It could never be your fault

It must be mine

Yeah and it's never your fault baby

You still can't see that it's your fault

It must be mine

You still can't see that it's your fault

It must be mine

You still can't see that it's your fault

I know it's mine

I know it's mine
