Rachael Yamagata Lyrics
"The Only Fault"

If I could have one wish
If iIcould have some say I'd keep you far from home
I'd roll back both my sleeves
I'd dig under your skin
I'd 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 then save you with good luck
And show you hope again

Hold on
You 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 'til 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 prefectly on course but in the end it has to snow

If I can 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 other's 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
