Let’s play a game
An endless game
The game of faulty fate
The game of petty fault
Is a doomed fate
Worse than a fault?
Or is it a petty fault
Which is worse than a bad fate?
Whatever it is, whatever it was
Our fate or my fault
It hurts so hard…
Heart bleeds so fast…
It was my fault!
It was my fault!
No… was it our fate?
Or was it my fault?
How much of our fate
Is just my fault?
How come fate and fault
Became a sorrowful path?
But I did try so much
I tried too hard
In vain it was
In vain I was
See where I am, where we are…
A kiss apart we were
Centuries apart we are
We rose so high
The flight so high
To fall too hard
From such a great height
From such a grand flight
It was my fault!
It was my fault!
No… was it our fate?
Or was it my fault?
How much of our fate
Is just my fault?
How come fate and fault
Became a sorrowful path?
I loved so hard
I dreamt so divine
I ran so fast
To stumble too hard
I see this man
Lost and worn-out
I see the mirror
Darkened with his debacle
I ask this man before
Smashing him in pieces
It was my fault?
It was my fault?
No… was it our fate?
Or was it my fault?
How much of our fate
Is just my fault?
How come fate and fault
Became a sorrowful path?
But all it was
Was nothing so much… Nothing that much
A dream close to heart
A heart close to soul
Like a utopian fairy tale
Just a fake fairy tale
Then why it hurts so hard
Yes its hurts too hard
Was it an oddity?
Was it an idiocy?
Why is it so hard?
To forget the past
For ‘moving on’ to last…
For a dream to last
It was my fault!
It was my fault!
No… was it our fate?
Or was it my fault?
How much of our fate
Is just my fault?
How come fate and fault
Became a sorrowful path
Why is it so hard?
To change the fate…
To heal a heart…
Was it too hard?
To change thy mind?
To change thy course?
To blame it all
On fate and fault?
Was it too hard?
At least in the start…
To find my fault
To fall from blissful heights
To those petty fights?
I did fight the urge
To get out of trance
To see thy true self
To see my true worth
But I lost at last
And I lost thy sight
It was my fault!
It was my fault!
No… was it our fate?
Or was it my fault?
How much of our fate
Is just my fault?
How come fate and fault
Became a sorrowful path?
Was it my fault..?..
Was it my fault…?..
And how thin is that line
Between fate and fault?
…
I see them both
A petty fault and damned fate
Hands in hands, they walk…
On a sorrowful path.
