Lyrics
Guilty Party
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're sleeping night and day
How you do it
Me I am wide awake
Feeling defeated
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
Oh no it's not working
I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
You just got nothing
Nothing left to say
Another year gets away
Another summer of love
I don't know why I care
We miss it every summer
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I'm the one doing this
There's no other way
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing
Nothing left to say
It all, all catches up to me
It all, all catches up to me
All the time
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
Oh no it's not working
I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
You just got nothing
Nothing left to say
I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I'm the one doing this, there's no other way
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing
Nothing left to say
It all, all catches up to me
It all, all catches up to me
All the time
