The Only Fault

If I could have one wish
If I could have some say
I'd keep you far from home
I'd roll back both my sleeves
Dig under your skin
And fix your shattered bones

Hold on, this may hurt you
When I tell you of the truth:
We don't get two lives to live
It's true, the only fault I found in you
Is not being free to take what I would give

If I could bend your pain
Into something good
Make you a prouder man
If I could rough you up
And save you with good luck
I'd show you hope again

Hold on, we're not meant to suffer so very long
Even love that's gone has never been the same
Hang tight, the only fault you have tonight
Sitting down so cold till I break in

Oh, sad young man, I think I need you
For reasons I don't know
I pledge myself to winter season
So it's perfectly on course
But in the end, it has to snow

If I can make you stay
Convince you you'd be lost
If we were torn apart
If it remained unclear
Between the two of us
Which one would be the one
To break the other's heart

Hold on, this will floor me
Differently than any drug that's washed me into sleep
It's true, the only fault I'll take from you
Is how to run from what you wish to keep
