Is Mercury in retrograde

Or is that the excuse that I've always made

'Cause I wanna blame you

But I can only blame myself

Yeah, it's easy to throw you under the bus

Or call you crazy while filling my cup

I say these things to hurt you

But I only hurt myself

Oh, I can only take responsibility for me

It takes two

Two sides to every story

Not just you

I can't keep ignoring

I admit half of it

I'm not that innocent

It takes two

Two sides to every story

Not just me

You can't keep ignoring

Let me be first, baby

To say I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I'll face my demons - yeah, I paid my dues

I had to grow up, I wish you could too

I wanted to save you

But I can only save myself

Oh, I can only be the change you want to see

Yeah, to see

It takes two

Two sides to every story

Not just you

I can't keep ignoring

I admit half of it

I'm not that innocent

It takes two

Two sides to every story

Not just me

You can't keep ignoring

Let me be first, baby

To say I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I point my finger, but it does me no good

I look in the mirror, and it tells me the truth, yeah

Why are these lessons always learned the hard way

Is it too late to change

It takes two

Two sides to every story

Not just you

I can't keep ignoring

I admit half of it

I'm not that innocent

It takes two

Two sides to every story

Not just me

You can't keep ignoring

Let me be first, baby

To say I'm sorry

I'm sorry
