Alana henderson - Wax & Wane lyrics

I could blame our partin' For the fact that I'm not startin' All my mornings at the time they ought to start And I could summon up a sisterhood Cry lead me out of widowhood But that is melodrama on my part I could blame my grieving' On the fact that I've been leaving Us behind, the ones we were when this began But I have rose-tinted us ruby And I've conjured up a new me Who bent freely to her newly moulded man But we bent and we broke and I meant what I spoke And the blame game does not produce a winner We went as far as we could go we had to go that far to know That we had nowhere left to aim And no one left to blame but The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide And I could blame my parents For my vices so inherent That I cannot shake them much as I may try But how much have I inherited? Or picked up since I was a kid That nature versus nurture paradigm I could blame wrong turns that I take On decisions that my head makes Then trace each error right back to my heart And is it broken ‘cause you toyed with it Or was it formed with a little split That grows each year further and further apart But we love and we lose and we lash-out and we bruise And the name of the game's just the living We go as far as we can go we've got to go that far to know That we have everything to gain By knowing we can blame The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide And so I look to Karma And if I try not to harm another I will not be harmed by anything If I salute the magpie knock on wood Will I be doing any good? Am I strung up or do I pull the string? Will the fact I cling too tightly To my dreams come back and bite me Am I trying to make a science of an art? And will the very fate I wish to woo Be the one that I undo By thinking I can steer this crazy cart But I'll live and I'll learn And I'll light and I'll burn 'Til the flame simmers down to a spark I'll go as far as I can go I've to go that far to know that I have everything to gain By knowing I can't train The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide I never said it was your fault I only wanted to blame someone I never said it was your fault I only wanted to blame someone The moon's wax and wane and the turn of the tide
