painting Lyrics

I am my mother's daughter

I am my father's son

I am the rain in the clouds that float above you

When you're wishing for the sun

I am the leaves on the side of the road when you're cycling home

In September

I am the gift card in the back of your closet

That you forgot to remember

It's not my fault that I am not who you thought I'd be

It's not my fault that what you're looking for was never me

I am the spider in the web

In the left corner of the doorframe

I am the plant that's on your table

Kind of yellow and unstable left without a name

I am the glass that's left half-empty

After all your friends have left

I'm the mistake you made at eighteen

That you forgot to forget

It's not my fault that I am not who you thought I'd be

It's not my fault that what you're looking for was never me

I am the artwork in the museum hall that nobody ever visits

I don't get to fulfill my call but it's not my fault

That they don't see the beauty they don't see the past

They don't see all the pain that made my painting last

It's not my fault that I am not who you thought I'd be

It's not my fault that what you're looking for was never me
