  • Broken people get recycled
    And I hope that I will
    Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways
    What I thought was my way home
    Wasn't the place I know
    I'm not afraid of changing
    I'm certain nothing's certain
    What we own becomes our prison
    My possessions will be gone
    Back to where they came from

    Blame, no one is to blame
    As natural as the rain that falls
    Here comes the flood again

    See the rock that you hold onto
    Is it gonna save you
    When the earth begins to crumble?
    Why do you feel you have to hold on?
    Imagine if you let go

    Blame, no one is to blame
    As natural as the rain that falls
    Here comes the flood again

    Wash away the weight that pulls you down
    Ride the waves that free you from your doubts?

    Don't trust your eyes (wash)
    It's easy to believe them (away)
    Know in your heart (the weight)
    That you can leave your prison (pulls you down)

    Don't trust your mind (ride)
    It's not always listening (the waves)
    Turn on the lights (that free)
    And feel the ancient rhythm (from your doubts)

    Don't trust your eyes (blame)
    It's easy to believe them (no one is to blame)
    Know in your heart (as natural as the rain)
    That you can leave your prison (here comes the flood again)

    Blame, no one is to blame
    As natural as the rain that falls
    Here comes the flood again, ooh Writer/s: Guy Chambers, Katie Melua, Lauren Christy
