"Responsible" lyrics - SARA BAREILLES

SARA BAREILLES
"Responsible"

Bound for the blessing
You wouldn't see it coming
I keep you guessing
Watch while you come undone

[Pre-Chorus:]
You were an island
No one would dare to tread upon
I came in like the wise men
Ask you to take my gift of love

[Chorus:]
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can

Careful confessions
Can't scare you with my crime
I learned my lesson
Love you a little at a time

[Pre-Chorus:]
Losing my patience
Getting acquainted with the edge
Ready and waiting
Happy to stand convicted

[Chorus:]
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can

[Bridge:]
I can't change you
When you won't change yourself
See you slowly becoming someone else
I can't blame you for the strength you lack
Scared to give me what you may not get back

[Chorus 2x:]
Hold me responsible
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
Hold me accountable
It's all my fault, I want
You to hold me any way you can
