It's Not My Fault (Lyrics by Mark Ward)
Verse 1
I still carry the weight, it lingers in my chest
Learning to live with shadows, doing my best
My intentions were good, though the road turned rough
In a world where everyone suffers, love’s never enough
Chorus
It’s not my fault, though the pain still calls my name
I walk the line between mercy and blame
Good, bad, indifferent, we all pay the cost
But I won’t let guilt define what I’ve lost
Verse 2
I try to do the right things, though the night feels long
Every choice leaves echoes, some right, some wrong
But I’ve found a kind of peace in the breaking of the day
Knowing suffering’s a river, and we all drift away
Chorus
It’s not my fault, though the pain still calls my name
I walk the line between mercy and blame
Good, bad, indifferent, we all pay the cost
But I won’t let guilt define what I’ve lost
Bridge
If guilt is a ghost, I’ll let it ride beside
Not as a master, but a witness to my life
I’ll keep moving forward, with truth in my hands
Even broken hearts can learn to stand
Outro
So I’ll sing it out loud, let the silence be torn
From the ashes of guilt, a new song is born
It’s not my fault, though the burden’s still mine
I’ll carry it gently, and keep walking the line
