Reverse Faults - Sampha

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 brake pads out the car

And I flew

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 brake pads out the car

And I flew

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
