It Takes Two Lyrics & Chords By Katy Perry

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

Oh yeah

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, yeah

Oh-oh
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

Oh
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

Oh-oh
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'm sorry
