cacophony

「 xxᴠɪ / hearken 」

was it my fault to hold you

was it my fault to try?

it was my choice to hold you

well now i'm sayin' goodbye

/

was it my fault to love you

was it i who made you cry?

it was my choice to love you

couldn't i tell wrong from right?

/

when the days are blue, when you never know why

guess there's a low after every high

but, hon, if you ever fall in my arms

i'll hold you tight and i'll let you cry

when hearts get rough though

oh when the mirrors break

'i hearken,' i'd write, 'when i scream to the stars at night'

but never did i know

never did i know a heart could bite.

/

so the stars had their laugh.

/

was it my fault to kiss you

oh was it my fault to hide?

it was my choice to kiss you

but why'd the chapter end in lies?

/

if i never took a step closer

if i walked away that day

we'd never have seen eye to eye

there'd be no beautiful mistake

/

don't think it's the first time

that our stars played this trick

but i know i'd gladly fall again
