  • There's a fault in my structure
    It's always you and never me
    I threw the blame and it shattered
    And now there's broken glass praying to be healed
    You struck a chord and I listened
    You damn near broke all the strings
    When you get close, I get distant
    Instead I'll drive away to a place surreal
    And tell me how that feels

    Took the break pads out the car
    And I flew
    I smashed this window in my heart
    And I blamed you
    This anger's taking me apart
    Explosive truths
    Except this time I went too far
    And I hurt you
    I wish I could take it back right now

    Where's that smile when it matters?
    Where was I when you called?
    I shot the blame and it scattered
    Now there's bullet holes spread across the walls
    I took the shape of a letter
    Slipped myself underneath your door
    In this red room we develop
    An understanding of all our wrongs
    Now can we move along?

    Took the break pads out the car
    And I flew
    I smashed this window in my heart
    And I blamed you
    This anger's it's taking me apart
    Explosive truths
    Except this time I went too far
    And I hurt you
    I wish I could take it back right Writer/s: Sampha Sisay
