about

For 13 years, I was married to the devil himself. After I escaped barely alive, I wanted to scream out "It Wasn't My Fault." He wouldn't let me sing so I exorcised him by writing this song for all my sisters who have survived abusive men ... and all those who haven't ... it wasn't your fault!

lyrics

LYRICS:

Once upon a time
You came along into my life
A knight in shining armour
Rode up on a big white steed
You made my heart a-flutter
Like a fairy tale come true
You were my prince charming
And I fell in love with you

You told me all the things
I'd waited all my life to hear
I gave you everything I owned
And I loved you oh so dear

But it wasn't my fault I loved you
It wasn't my fault I cared
It wasn't my fault I felt the things
You told me that we shared
No, it wasn't my fault I married you
It wasn't my fault I said I do
And how it went so wrong
Well, it was always about you

But what about now?
What about me?
Where do I go from here?
How do I carry on?
What about me?

It's funny how my fairy tale
Became a country song
You took my house, you took my cars
You took my business too
You almost took my breath of life
Somehow I got away
I managed to break free from you
And here I stand today

Oh, it wasn't my fault I loved you
It wasn't my fault I cared
It wasn't my fault I felt the things
You told me that we shared
No, it wasn't my fault I married you
It wasn't my fault I said I do
Why you wanted to take my life
It was always about you

But what about now?
What about me?
How do I carry on?
Where do I go from here?
What about me?

[piano solo]

It wasn't my fault
It wasn't my fault
It was always about you

What about now?
And what about me?
I'm gonna carry on
And I have become the one
To forget about you
