Not Your Fault
© 2006 Jon Peterson All Rights Reserved

It's not your fault you're just a kid.
It's not what you said or what you did.
People change and so did they.
It's not your fault Dad went away.
It's not your fault - you're not to blame.

You hear mean words that lead to tears.
Through the thin walls you feel your fears.
It's a frightening feeling to feel their pain.
If only they'd smile, it might be the same.
There's only booze and bumps and blame.

It's not your fault you're just a kid.
It's not what you said or what you did.
War of the heart you can't escape.
Feelings buried, hard feelings take.
It's not your fault - you're just a kid.
you're just a little kid,
You should jump with joy, and flip your lid.
You ride your bike and you play at school.
Just be a kid, now, just be cool.

Hated your Mom, then you hated your Dad.
You hated yourself, hated what you had.
Words mean nothing in fire and flame.
Burn your heart, they brand and maim.
But words are worst, when they blame.

But you're just a little kid,
You should jump with joy, and flip your lid.
You ride your bike and you play at school.
Just be a kid, now, just be cool.

It's not your fault you're just a kid.
It's not what you said or what you did.
People change and so did they.
It's not your fault Mom went away.
It's not your fault - you're not to blame.
