Intro -
Verse:
My friends say I ve got to stay behind, cause they ve seen this kind,
Just like they all told me so.
I ll begin to piece it all in one, just another song,
Just another pipe dream for the child who hung his head.
Chorus:
It was not my fault, it was not my day,
But it made me strong, it made me wait for love.
And I found so much, and I ve paid my debts,
For the kindness I was shown to use as my own.
Verse:
All my tears and comforts led the way, in a final play,
That had scenes of heroes making up for loss.
And his story cost, paper melted down.
Made of blankets for the child who ran away.
Chorus
Bridge:
Sip the same depressing fuel
Make and break your every rule.
And if the laughter is all night,
At least it s helping me to write.
When everything is overboard
The perfect crew you can t afford,
There is no truth without unjust
And in the music I could trust.
Chorus:
It was not my fault, it was not my day,
Oh, but it made me strong, it made me wait for love.
And I found so much, and I ve paid my debts,
For the kindness I was shown to use as my own.
