Have your ears betrayed me by mistranslating my words?

Have your eyes forsaken me by looking toward the sky trying to recognize the pain that you hide?

Have your loose lips misspelled the word "love" every time you spoke it to me?

My darling no they haven't

It's my fault,

It's my fault,

It's me.

I've mistaken all the candle tops as the light in your eyes

I've mistaken the wicked branches as your hand in mine

I've mistaken the warm breeze as your whispers in my ear

Maybe I wouldn't make so many mistakes if you were actually here

But, baby, it's not your fault. I left you behind.

Maybe if I hadn't left I wouldn't have lost my mind.

My mind is one of the less valuable things I've lost

I've lost the first picture you drew me,

The feeling of our first kiss,

The memories that painted the inside of your lips

I've lost my home, just call me a beggar

But don't give me your change nor your sympathy

For I did this to myself

It's my fault

It's me.

Instead I'm begging for your vengeance I'm begging you to strike

Throw me down, tackle me and pull my hair

Or bite my ear and kiss my neck, hurt me how you like

Take my heart, take my lies

Take all you need

I hope to god you're hurting, love, because dammit you're hurting me

But if you smile, sweetheart, it's torture enough to see

For I know the reason you smile isn't because of me.

Oh don't worry, dear, your flaws cannot compare to mine

For I've committed the biggest crime

Every tear that sheds to your pillow, collect in a thousand jars

Send them in a package to me for I'm not too far

I'll drink it until I can't feel you anymore

Because ,darling, it's poison to me and I am done for.
