it's my fault
Willow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Met her at a, party, "She seems nice")
(Never thought she)

Met her at a party, I said, "She seems nice"
Every time I thought about it, I got butterflies
And when I told you we agree that she's alright (ah)
Never thought I'd be trippin' over the lost time
I said it was fine, yeah
Layin' down, six feet under, it's sublime
Shoulda saw (ah) the signs, now we're in a fight

I don't know
How I can forgive you

It's all in my mind, it's all in my mind
I try to rewind and all of the while
I'm hurtin' inside, it's your fault
Maybe it's my fault
It's all in my mind, it's all in my mind
I try to rewind and all of the while
I'm hurtin' inside, it's your fault
Maybe it's my fault

Said, "I could handle this"
That was your one request
Said I would be there, be there in your distress
Instead, you just feel dispensed

I don't know
If I'm worth forgiving

It's all in my mind, it's all in my mind
I try to rewind and all of the while
I'm hurtin' inside, it's your fault
Maybe it's my fault
It's all in my mind, it's all in my mind
I try to rewind and all of the while
I'm hurtin' inside, it's your fault
Maybe it's my fault

Ah-ah
Ah-ah




Ahh, maybe it's my fault
Maybe it's my fault

I’m soooo glad Willow is sticking with rock music. I think this suits their voice and feels super natural!

@supremeleadertamagucci3925

@abelcardosoveloso1762

I humbly believe she doesn't need to be defined by a Genre... That way her muse can remain unbound so she can shine wherever she wants. She's amazingly talented

@marlostanly6650

Stick with rock? Willow does beautiful wherever she goes. If you don't know please enlightenment yourself. Follow this with Marceline. She's a stunner all day long. Willow!

She is really carving out her own lane. Love it! Keep knocking down those barriers and thinking outside the box.
