It's Not Your Fault
Lyrics:
You keep replaying every moment
Wondering what you could've changed
Taking all the weight upon you
Like you're the only one to blame
You say, "Maybe I should've known better"
"Maybe I should've seen the signs"
But you were doing what you could
With what you knew at the time
You don't have to carry
What was never yours to hold
Some things weren't in your hands
Some things weren't in your control
It's not your fault
You did the best you could
With a heart that only wanted
To love the way it should
It's not your fault
So put that burden down
You don't have to keep on hurting
For what you couldn't turn around
You can forgive yourself
You can finally let it go
It's not your fault
And you deserve to know
Maybe someone made you feel
Like everything was yours to fix
So you learned to say "I'm sorry"
For things you never even did
But you don't owe the past your future
You don't owe your pain another day
You are allowed to stop looking backward
You are allowed to walk away
You don't have to carry
Every wound you've ever known
You can give yourself permission
To leave the blame alone
It's not your fault
You did the best you could
With a heart that only wanted
To love the way it should
It's not your fault
So put that burden down
You don't have to keep on hurting
For what you couldn't turn around
You can forgive yourself
You can finally let it go
It's not your fault
And you deserve to know
For every night you blamed yourself
For every tear you cried alone
For every time you asked, "Was it me?"
I hope someday you know
You were worthy then
You're worthy now
And healing doesn't need permission
You can set the guilt down
It's not your fault
You don't have to be ashamed
You don't have to spend forever
Punishing yourself with blame
It's not your fault
Let your tired heart be free
You are more than what has happened
You are more than what you couldn't see
So breathe again
And let tomorrow come
You don't have to carry this anymore
It's not your fault
It's not your fault
Put the blame down
You've carried it long enough
It's not your fault
You can let it go
