It's All on Me

When we moved together
You said it quickly starting feeling like an obligation on my part
And you were right
I thought I wanted something better
I didn't give us both a chance
And let you suffer for it
Broke your heart
And let it die

You would say so many words to encourage me
I could tell you saw something that I couldn't see
Your mind works in a special way
You were like Sisyphus pushing the boulder
I simply could not have been colder towards you
It haunts me still to this day

You moved on from who you thought I was
But not from who I am
Because I never showed him to you
Now I think I can
How do you make someone believe you've changed?
How do you show them that it's true?
I hope knowing I take all the blame
Is my first step back to you

People try to tell me
I should bring myself to blame you somehow
Work it out in my head where it's your fault
But it's all on me
Every time you started
Just a single spark I made sure that I stomped it out
And left you in the dark
I was just too slow to wake and see
What I had in front of me and what from that could be
Now I sing an endless plea
I know you know how bright the flame could grow
If you granted us one more try together
I think for once it'd be forever
