12 Steps Lyrics by Japanese Breakfast

Soft Sounds from Another Planet

2017

[Verse 1]
I said something cruel, I can't say I quite regret it
Twelve steps into the smoking bar, I found you
Clothes engulfed in a bonfire, I begged you to my room
Begging still, all these years
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, looking back
How did I keep moving?
Didn't know that half of me was missing
It's easy to leave, easy to leave
[Chorus]
So tell me, "I can't blame you, we let love run its course
And it's a little bit lonelier
I don't blame you, it's just our love ran its course
And that's a little bit hard"
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, looking back
Wasn't a thing to keep me
From running around in the wreckage that burned all season
It was easy to leave when you'd finally seen me
[Chorus]
Now tell me, "I can't blame you, it's just that love ran its course
And it's a little bit lonelier
I don't blame you, we let love run its course
And it's a little bit hard
I can't blame you, he's the one that you wanted
Singing scenes from a restaurant
I can't blame you, it's just our love ran its course
And it's a love that's long gone"
