St. Therese from Secret Handshake by Anthony da Costa

The lights are off,
The record player’s spinning Billy Joel (it’s all I could find).
Nights ago, I went and taped your picture to the wall.

It’s not your fault I’m lonely.
It’s not your fault I’m blue.
It’s not your fault that you don’t love me
the way I want you to.

When winter came, I thought I’d never see your face again;
I guess I was wrong.
Oh St. Therese, I’m going down in flames tonight.

It’s not your fault I’m lonely.
It’s not your fault I’m blue.
It’s not your fault that you don’t love me
the way I want you to.

Loneliness is listening to the record that you’ve got,
not the record you want.

It’s not your fault I’m lonely.
It’s not your fault I’m blue.
It’s not your fault that you don’t love me
the way I want you to
the way I want you to
the way I want you.
