Rachael Yamagata 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
