It’s My [de]FAULT Lyrics by Alec Benjamin

It ain’t my fault, baby, it’s my default
It’s my default, baby, it’s my default

You start by tellin’ me you don’t think I can take it
“I’m not you’re enemy” is always what you say when
You’re getting ready there to tear me apart
I know you speak the truth and that’s the scariest part
Give an apology, tell you “I’ll try to change it”
Maybe astrology can help me to explain it
But either way, it doesn’t matter much to me
Nature versus nurture, it don’t change reality, mmm

It ain’t my fault, baby, it’s my default
It’s my default, baby, it’s my default
I’ve been this way forever, long as I can recall
Long as I can recall, as I can recall
I swear if I could change, oh, babe, I swear I’ll change it all
Swear I’ll change it all, babe, I swear I’ll change it all
We have a conversation every time that you call
Time that you call, every time that you call, mmm

You take a deep breath in, swallow your frustration
Ask how my day has been, but in this situation
It’s hard to move, I know I just can’t ignore the tension
So, I mention what was said right before
We’ve been here before, have we been here before?
Yeah, we’ve been here before, think we’ve been here before, mmm

It ain’t my fault, baby, it’s my default
It’s my default, baby, it’s my default
I’ve been this way forever, long as I can recall
Long as I can recall, as I can recall
I swear if I could change, oh, babe, I swear I’ll change it all
Swear I’ll change it all, babe, I swear I’ll change it all
We have a conversation every time that you call
Time that you call, every time that you call, mmm

Package that I came in, it’s the way I was built
I hope if you can find a way to love me, you will
Be a little patient with me, swear, it’s the truth
It’s just the way that I was made, it’s not an excuse
No, it’s not an excuse, swear, it’s not an excuse

It ain’t my fault, baby, it’s my default
It’s my default, baby, it’s my default
I’ve been this way forever, long as I can recall
Long as I can recall, as I can recall
I swear if I could change, oh, babe, I swear I’ll change it all
Swear I’ll change it all, babe, I swear I’ll change it all
We have a conversation every time that you call
Time that you call, every time that you call, mmm

Keep listening
