Alana Henderson - Wax and wane

^AmI could blame our ^Gpartin for the ^Ffact that I'm not startin ^AmAll my mornings at the ^Gtime they are to ^Fstart And I could ^Amsummon up the ^Gsisterhood, cry &^Fquot;leave me out of widowhood" But ^Amthat is melo^Gdrama on my ^Fpart ^AmI could blame my ^Ggreiving on the ^Ffact that I've been leaving us Be^Amhind the ones we ^Gwere when this be^Fgun But I have ^Amrose-tinted us ^Gruby, and I've^F conjured up a new me Who bent f^Amreely to her ^Gnewly molded ^Fman But we ^Ambent and we ^Gbroke and I ^Fmeant what I spoke And the ^Amblame game does ^Gnot produce a ^Fwinner We went as ^Amfar as we could ^Ggo, we had to ^Fgo that far to know We had ^Amnowhere left to ^Gaim and ^Fnoone left to blame But the ^Ammoon's wax and ^Gwane and the turn of the ^Ftide The ^Ammoon's wax and ^Gwane and the turn of the ^Ftide

And ^AmI could blame my ^Gparents for my ^Fvices so inherent that I Cannot shake them much as I may try But how much have my inherited or picked up since I was a kid That nature vs. nuture paradigm I could blame my turns that I take on the decisions that my head makes Then trace each error right back to my heart But is it broken because you toyed with it, or was it formed 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 We have everything to gain, and 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 ^Amso I looked at ka^Grma, and if ^FI 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 strings Well the fact I cling too tightly till 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 move be the one that I am doomed by Thinking that I can steer this crazy cart But I live and I learn and I light and I'll burn Until the flame simmers down to a spark I'll go as far as I can go I've got to go that far to know That I have everything to gain and 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

^AmI n^Gever ^Fsaid it was ^Amyour f^Gaul^Ft I only wanted to blame someone I never said it was your fault I only wanted to blame someone
