lyrics

this is the song I can’t write for you
this is a year that I’ve known the truth
this is the story I told myself
but couldn’t believe though I wanted to

this is whatever you mean to me
this is your name in my diary
that sits behind maps of the stars on my shelf
and watches my past lives sleep quietly

so I’ll blame it on fate
wrong time wrong place
or was it my mistake?
thinking I could escape

thought I could run away from my fears
convinced myself they would disappear
if I just hummed loudly and closed my eyes
but of course they all followed me here

this is the laugh I am listening for
waving to you outside my front door
I say I’ll miss you and realise
maybe I don’t really know you at all

so I’ll blame it on fate
wrong time wrong place
or I’ll blame it on pride
feelings we tried to hide
or I’ll blame it on you
took too long with the truth
or I’ll blame it on me
I’m sentimental and naive

and when there’s nothing left to blame
my heart still hurts the same
but I’m trying to move on
I’m not waiting for that song any more

this is the 23rd of July
I say see you later instead of goodbye
this is the relentless passage of time
and everything is fine
