lyrics

I’ve traveled round seen a thing or two
crossed the ocean wide
so many times, so many times
and if I learned from every turn
of pages I did bind
then I’d be fine, I’d be fine

but I forgot when I got caught
to keep my laces tied
so I got left behind, I got left behind
and I was chained and I was beat
but it was nobody’s fault but
no one’s fault but mine,
no one’s fault but mine

[chorus]
but what once put my mind at ease
soon did bring me to my knees
and everything I touch with these
fickle hands of mine
rotted on the vine

we made wine of rotten fruit
how it tasted bittersweet
stained in the sheets,
where we didn’t sleep
and we were young
and we were drunk
so it did not mean a thing
not a single thing,
least not a thing to me

then you forgot when you got caught
trying to tie my tie
about these fickle hands of mine,
these rambling hands of mine
and you gave love and you got lost
it was nobody’s fault but mine
no one’s fault but mine,
no one’s fault but mine

[chorus]

no one’s fault but mine,
no one’s fault but mine
I forgot what I was taught
it was no one’s fault but mine
