The Blame

(album: Hideaway - 2021)

Fuck it up, baby, let's get inside
It's the kinda truth that you need to hide, I'm told
Spend a lot of time staying out of sight
Tryna catch a dream just before you rise, you know

I am not the only one who knows
Where there's darkness something always grows

You can take it all back if it was a lie
I won't go crying just to make a river flow
Know your heart is a dagger too
I hope it cuts me before it gets to you

I've been leaning on a story that can't sit still
In a jail, I sleep on a sheet of bourbon
I told you I'd write you and I will
Promise you would always take my name
It's something I should stick to earning
When you forget, I'll take the blame

Fuck it up, baby, just get inside
These are the nights where you need to drive up north
Heard your heart from across the room
And it sounds like its beating through an open wound

I am not the only one who leaves
When the darkness brings us to our knees

I've been leaning on a story that can't sit still
In a jail, I sleep on a sheet of bourbon
I told you I'd write you and I will
Promise you would always take my name
It's something I should stick earning
When you forget, I'll take the blame
