Lyrics Crazy Ex–Girlfriend Cast – Nothing Is Ever Anyone’s Fault

Nathaniel:
Before I knew you
I did bad things and didn’t know why
But now, I know you

Because nothing is ever anyone’s fault
We’re all just products of childhood trauma
Nothing is ever anyone’s fault
Pain causes anger and fear causes drama
We can’t control
The things we do
Just like I can’t control
That I’m in love with you

Rebecca:
Wow, the first part was kind of amoral, but the last thing was really sweet

Nathaniel:
Thanks

Rebecca:
What else?

Nathaniel:
I was raised to believe
That every person’s in charge of their fate
But now, I clearly see
That my father’s a dick and he filled me with hate
You were the first person who told me that

Rebecca:
Maybe you have a point
I was brought up by a fat-shaming mom
Who made me take laxatives
The week before prom (yep!)
Now, I overeat ever since that abuse

Nathaniel:
See?
Psychology is a great excuse

Rebecca:
Nothing is ever anyone’s fault

Nathaniel:
Nothing is ever anyone’s fault

Rebecca:
John Wayne Gacy was hit by his dad

Nathaniel:
Exactly!
It wasn’t technically Hitler’s fault

Rebecca:
Wasn’t technically Hitler’s fault

Nathaniel:
Hitler’s brother died

Nathaniel & Rebecca:
And that made him super sad
It’s hard to paint people with evil or glory
When you know that everyone’s
Got a tragic backstory
Free will’s an illusion
Morality is, too
So, it’s not my fault that
My parents messed me up
‘Cause their parents messed them up
And Adam and Eve were messed up by god
Who was messed up originally by the big bang
Everything is the big bang’s fault!

Rebecca:
Good point!
Energy in space was the ultimate bad father

Nathaniel & Rebecca:
Nothing is nobody’s fault

Rebecca:
Nothing is nobody’s
Is that a double negative?

Nathaniel:
Eh, it sounds good, why bother?
But I’m glad for the trauma

Rebecca:
I’m glad for it, too

Nathaniel & Rebecca:
‘Cause my past is what led me
To fall in love with you
