The Only Fault

If I could have one wish

If I could have some say

I'd keep you far from home

I'd roll back both my sleeves

Dig under your skin

And fix your shattered bones

Hold on

This may hurt you when I tell you of the truth

We don't get two lives to live

It's true

The only fault I've found in you

Is not being free to take what I would give

If I could bend your pain

Into something good

Make you a prouder man

If I could rough you up

And save you with good luck

And show you hope again

Hold on

Weren't meant to suffer so very long

Leaving love that's gone has never been a sin

Hang tight

The only fault you have tonight

Is shutting down so cold till I break in

Oh sad young man

I think I need you

For reasons I don't know

I pledge myself to winter season

So it's perfectly on course

But in the end it has to snow

If I could make you stay

Convince you you'd be lost

If we were torn apart

If it remained unclear

Between the two of us

Which one would be the one

To break the others heart

Hold on

This will floor me differently

Than any drug that's washed me into sleep

It's true

The only fault I'll take from you

Is how to run from what you wish to keep
