Ruarri Joseph - Blankets lyrics

My friends say I've got to stay behind Because they've seen this kind Just like they all told me so I'll begin to piece it all in one Just another song Just another pipe dream for the child who hung his head It was not my fault It was not my day But it made me strong It made me wait for love And I found so much And I've paid my debts For the kindness I was shown to use, as my own All my tears and comforts led the way In a final play That had scenes and heroes making up for loss An historic cost Paper melted down Made of blankets for the child who ran away It was not my fault It was not my day But it made me strong It made me wait for love And I found so much And I've paid my debts For kindness I was shown to use, as my own Except the same depressing few Make and break your every rule But if the laughter is all night At least it's helping me to write When everything is overboard The perfect crew you can't afford There is no truth you doubt unjust And in the music I could trust It was not my fault It was not my day O, but it made me strong It made me wait for love And I found so much And I've paid my debts For the kindness I was shown to use, as my own
