Nobody's Fault

All of our lives were changed that day.
   It was nobody's fault. And nobody knew.
   Someone tried to get him to put it away.
   It was nobody's fault. And nobody knew.
   They say her years numbered sixteen.
   It was nobody's fault. And nobody knew.
   She was Northern California's beauty queen.
   It was nobody's fault. And nobody knew.
   No one quite knows why Riley pulled the gun.
She didn't even get a chance to run.
   It was all his fault, and nobody knew.
   Some say she broke his heart,
some say they couldn't stay apart.
   It was all his fault, and nobody knew.
   Emily never had a chance.
Who knew it was their last dance.
   It was all his fault, and nobody knew.
   Their graves lie side-by-side,
inscriptions that tell a great lie.
   It was nobody's fault. And nobody knew.
   Emily and her Riley forever together,
eternity spent 'neath a bouquet of heather.
Tombstones to stand time and weather.
   It was nobody's fault. And nobody knew.
