Was it my fault,
Was it my fault, was it my fault
Was it my fault, was it my fault
Was it what I did, it's like this I don't wanna be
Was it my fault?
I'm the original one, don't keep it up to me
I'm just young and talented, I'm fladder but, Heey
I must go on, and on and on.
On stage, say heey, you know what I want
This is it, it is my faith
Can't you go without don't keep arease with me
I don't wanna see you fall
Just listen to the sounds of my soul cry out, on your wall, (WALL)
Yeah
Was it my fault, was it my fault
Was it what I did, it's like this I don't wanna be
Was it my fault?
X2
I really wanna be there to do what I came for
And now we are just in broken pieces
There are dark clouds over you, to understand what I'm feeling!
I wanna cry my life out and get away the pain
That you left me and now it came a melody
That comes from the soul
This is my something, don't bring me down
'Cause I'll bite stite back with the sound of my pain
And that so sad to handle 'cause I am the original one
Pick up one piece on the ground that you broke
It made me sing from the soul
Look what you did, you made everybody cry, over the sad soul
I love you comes straigt from nothing,
Because there's nothing left in my heart!
Was it my fault, was it my fault
Was it what I did, it's like this I don't wanna be
Was it my fault?
