Lyrics
My Own Damn Fault - Words & Music by Steve Taylor I guess it was my own damn fault I brought this romance to a halt I said some words I didn’t mean I rubbed your wound into the salt Guess it was my own damn fault Now there’s no one left to blame Sometimes confession leads to shame Like a moth goes to a flame Like the aspirin needs the pain Now there’s no one left to blame These are the words I meant to say Everything good must go away That’s how it is and how it goes They say nothing gold can stay These are the words I meant to say INSTRUMENTAL Can’t make the rules up as you go ‘Cause I won’t hear the whistle blow And I can’t tell which side that you’re on My response is much too slow Can’t make the rules up as you go I hope in time you’ll understand Sometimes these things get out of hand It happened once, never again No I'm not that kind of man I hope in time you’ll understand INSTRUMENTAL So turn the light off as you leave Because the darkness comforts me And it might not be on your terms But one last favor, would you please Turn the light off as you leave I guess it was my own damn fault I rubbed your wound into the salt I said some words I didn’t mean And brought this romance to a halt I guess it was my own damn fault
