Nothing Is Ever Anyone's Fault

(albüm: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 3) - 2018)

[Nathaniel:]
Before I knew you
I did bad things and didn't know why
But now, I know you
And I've learned to look inside
I understand what makes me
Frightened and sad
So, yes, I still do bad things
But are they actually bad?
No!

Because nothing is ever anyone's fault
We're all just products of childhood trauma
Nothing is ever anyone's fault
Pain causes anger and fear causes drama
We can't control
The things we do
Just like I can't control
That I'm in love with you

[Rebecca:]
Wow, the first part was kind of amoral, but the last thing was really sweet

[Nathaniel:]
Thanks

[Rebecca:]
What else?

[Nathaniel:]
I was raised to believe
That every person's in charge of their fate
But now, I clearly see
That my father's a dick and he filled me with hate
You were the first person who told me that

[Rebecca:]
Maybe you have a point
I was brought up by a fat-shaming mom
Who made me take laxatives
The week before prom (yep!)
Now, I overeat ever since that abuse

[Nathaniel:]
See?
Psychology is a great excuse

[Rebecca:]
Nothing is ever anyone's fault

[Nathaniel:]
Nothing is ever anyone's fault

[Rebecca:]
John Wayne Gacy was hit by his dad

[Nathaniel:]
Exactly!
It wasn't technically Hitler's fault

[Rebecca:]
Wasn't technically Hitler's fault

[Nathaniel:]
Hitler's brother died

[Nathaniel & Rebecca:]
And that made him super sad
It's hard to paint people with evil or glory
When you know that everyone's
Got a tragic backstory
Free will's an illusion
Morality is, too
So, it's not my fault that
My parents messed me up
'Cause their parents messed them up
And Adam and Eve were messed up by god
Who was messed up originally by the big bang
Everything is the big bang's fault!

[Rebecca:]
Good point!
Energy in space was the ultimate bad father

[Nathaniel & Rebecca:]
Nothing is nobody's fault

[Rebecca:]
Nothing is nobody's
Is that a double negative?

[Nathaniel:]
Eh, it sounds good, why bother?
But I'm glad for the trauma

[Rebecca:]
I'm glad for it, too

[Nathaniel & Rebecca:]
'Cause my past is what led me
To fall in love with you
