Emeli Sande - It Takes Two lyrics

[Produced by Benny Blanco and StarGate] [Verse 1] Is Mercury in retrograde? Or is that the excuse that I've always made? Cause I want to blame you But I can only blame myself Yeah, it's easy to throw you under the bus Or call you crazy, while filling my cup I say these things to hurt you But I only hurt myself [Pre-Chorus 1] Oh, I can only take responsibility for me [Chorus] It takes two, two sides to every story Not just you, I can't keep ignoring I admit half of it, I'm not that innocent, oh yeah It takes two, two sides to every story Not just me, you can't keep ignoring But let me be first, baby, to say "I'm sorry" [Verse 2] I've faced my demons, yeah, I paid my dues I had to grow up, I wish you could too I wanted to save you But I can only save myself [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, I can only be the change I want to see Yeah, to see [Chorus] It takes two, two sides to every story Not just you, I can't keep ignoring I admit half of it, I'm not that innocent, oh yeah It takes two, two sides to every story Not just me, you can't keep ignoring But let me be first, baby, to say "I'm sorry" [Bridge] I point my finger but it does me no good I look in the mirror and it tells me truth, yeah Why are these lessons always learned the hard way? Is it too late to change? [Chorus] It takes two, two sides to every story Not just you, I can't keep ignoring I admit half of it, I'm not that innocent, oh yeah It takes two, two sides to every story Not just me, you can't keep ignoring But let me be first, baby, to say "I'm sorry"
