It's My Fault
Hank Thompson · Hank Thompson & His Brazos Val [2003]
People said it's gonna cost you I just said she'll never know
I stepped around and kept on lying
I should have known that you'd catch up
Your faithful heart I kept denying it's my falt that you are gone
[ piano - steel ]
Now you can't live a life forever it overtakes you by and by
The bonds of love it's sure to suffer it's my fault that you said goodbye
