Faults
Should I be sad or feel sorry
For the lonely house wife whose husband is six feet under
Even though it wasn't my fault I didn't give him the pain or neediness
Maybe because I didn't show compassion for him that’s why he is gone
What if it were you but it's not me
And I am not sorry and I don't feel pain
His leaving does not make me want to cry does not make me want to isolate myself
If anything his death makes me want to live
And I know that’s what he wanted he wanted to move on
So is it my faults that bury him or is it yours
