Perhaps It’s Mine

[Verse 1]
I've learned that trying makes it worse
Remember how you taught me?
It's not in my nature to let things be
I'll fuss with the string 'til it unravels the tapestry

[Verse 2]
I work like I breathe
And I breathe like I run
I'll fall apart
If I can't get things done
And the more I gave, the more you left
So I'll spin my wheels to get you back again

[Chorus]
So is it your fault? Or perhaps it's mine
Maybe you would've stayed if I'd never tried
Mmm, mmm
Maybe you would've stayed if I'd nеver tried

[Verse 3]
I worked for you
I wantеd to earn it
Because I didn't want your love
If I hadn't deserved it
But you saw it in someone far more effortless
Maybe it was her smile or her sunflower dresses
Still, I dig my heels into the snow
You're the only one I can't live to let go

[Chorus]
So is it your fault? Or perhaps it's mine
Maybe you would've stayed if I'd never tried
Mmm, mmm
Maybe you would've stayed if I'd never tried

[Bridge]
So what could I have done?
If you'll spare me that
Doesn't mean I'll move on
For I can never do that
I've fussed with the string to my tapestry
And it's unraveled at my feet
I haven't slept in six lonely weeks

[Chorus]
So is it your fault? Or perhaps it's mine
Maybe you would've stayed if I'd never tried
Mmm, mmm
So tell the girl with sunflower dresses I said hi
