Moth Harris - Accusations

When you charge me with this accusations
It only tears away at me
You're the one who braught me up from down
Don't be the one to make me bleed

It's only slander lately, that's what I hear from you
Not words of love, not from your heart
Words of rage, bent on tearing me apart
Most of the time it's not my fault
But I feel I'm forced to take the blame
You can't imagine how much I hate this game

You know I love you, You know how much I care
It's not so much fun when the shame is there
Knowing that daily there's no maybe
I'm bound to be accused

I know you don't mean it, you probably don't even see
I know you don't mean it, but it's honestly killing me
You wonder why I'm so scared of phones
It's the bad news, and it's sad to say
but it normally comes from you

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make you feel bad
I just wanted to let you know why I am sad
and I know you didn't mean it the way it was intended
but it's just the way the words blended
that started bringing me down

Now I have no doubt, I have no fear
I just wish that you could hear
What I try to say
but my voice can never seem to get through
These accusations every day

I'm not trying to avoid you
I'm just trying to give you space
because the truth is I think we both need it now
I can only hope you will see that somehow
Because I never wanna lose what I hold so dear

and I know I'm just venting now I know I should wrap this up
Momma's not always gonna be there with wine in her cup
To pull us back when the tension is here
and I just don't want to lose, what I hold so dear.
