Lyric

You blamed the rain on me

I blamed the train on you

We kept our coats on tight

Like that would make us true

The blinds were cracked all day

The air smelled like old proof

We spoke in little cuts

And called it staying cool

But the hall had ears

And the floor kept score

We were already split

Long before the door

The outside lied first

The outside lied first

We just took the blame

We just took the blame

The outside lied first

The outside lied first

Now nothing tastes the same

Nothing tastes the same

Your keys sat in the bowl

Mine fell behind the chair

We made a science of

Pretending not to care

The neighbors heard the glass

We heard it twice as loud

Two ghosts in one small room

Too proud to back out now

But the walls were thin

And the night was close

Every little excuse

Turned to dust and smoke

The outside lied first

The outside lied first

We just took the blame

We just took the blame

The outside lied first

The outside lied first

Now nothing tastes the same

Nothing tastes the same

Maybe the street was cold

Maybe the sky was mean

Maybe we needed cracks

To show us what we’d seen

Still, when you said my name

It sounded like a dare

So I let the silence win

And left it hanging there

The outside lied first

The outside lied first

We just took the blame

We just took the blame

The outside lied first

The outside lied first

Now nothing tastes the same

Nothing tastes the same
