Take the Blame
By Mara Levi

I know I mislead you and I was wrong and I could tell you felt a tinge of indecision in my arms
I was only selfishly betraying all the wreckless deeds that sent a burst of life into my heart
I had the best intentions but, a fool, forgot to mention some details about convention and I sent you on your way
Now I'm forced to let you burn your bridge and then forget me and go elsewhere for the fullness I'd have given you for free

Chorus

I will take the blame and I will let you have your way
But it should still suffice to say
that it was yours as much as mine, and in the end it's not a sign
it's just a light along the way

I will let the days meander, still collecting grains of sand to weigh me down and make me stand alone
I have seen the world at sunset and I can make it look like fun yet all the stars are out before the kids get to the game
So I fly and bend beneath the pressure but to let it be would set me up for far more empty daydreams than before
Silent prayer was getting nowhere, other girls can pull of mohair and quick to wish the world were so fair I began to sing

Chorus

Well in the light you hold you're anyone, you're everyone,
your everything you need, oh it's here
oh it's here

Like you always said, it's for the best and things are better when you don't know what you're missing and you safely walk away
This is not the end so take your time and be a friend and take your distance and pretend you knew a way to look ahead
cause I could be forever by your side, but you're too clever and I lied to let you get your chance to slip away
Well I am still a fighter so you take your broken light and whisper secret and delight underneath someone else's door
Cause I am on your side, you can run and you can hide, or you can let your tears run dry when you come along with me
We can seize our fate or lie in wait, or take that bait
and go our separate ways

Chorus
