Your glass is full
Is it still my fault
If you empty it
It sure will be
I stumbled
Under the weight of your words
But got back up
Not everything sounds that wrong
That's wrong
When I cried for help
You told me it's your fault
Cried till I was breathless
You told me it's your fault
And you told me I love you
That really was my fault
When I cried for help
You told me it's your fault
Cried till I was breathless
You told me it's your fault
And you told me I love you
That really was my fault
My fault
The night is quiet
Without the sound of your voice
If you raise it
It'll only be at me
I stay alone
Sitting with my tears
The ones that remain
After all the racket
When I cried for help
You told me it's your fault
Cried till I was breathless
You told me it's your fault
And you told me I love you
That really was my fault
When I cried for help
You told me it's your fault
Cried till I was breathless
You told me it's your fault
And you told me I love you
That really was my fault
Sometimes
I don't even recognize you
I hear the noise
Without hearing your voice
You see, I love you
Despite all that
And now I know
That it's not me
Yet I fell so low
With you, I didn't love myself
At all
When I cried for help
You told me it's your fault
Cried till I was breathless
You told me it's your fault
And you told me I love you
That really was my fault
When I cried for help
You told me it's your fault
Cried till I was breathless
You told me it's your fault
And you told me I love you
That really was my fault
My fault
Screamed for help
Till I was out of breath
You told me it's your fault
Screamed for help
Screamed for help
Till I was out of breath
You told me it's your fault
You made me lose the one
I thought was so strong
But the downpour has passed
When I slammed the door
Without you
Good days come back
It'll never be my fault again

SONG MEANING

“Ma Faute” is a bittersweet break-up anthem that flips the script on blame. Throughout the song, Marine faces a partner who repeatedly empties their glass and then points the finger at her: C’est ta faute—it’s your fault. Each accusation feels heavy enough to make her stumble, yet every time she stands back up, a little wiser and a little stronger. The verses capture that tense push-and-pull: late-night fights, guilt trips, and the confusing mix of Je t’aime followed by more blame.

By the final chorus, the clouds clear. Marine realizes the fault never really belonged to her and walks away, leaving the storm behind. What starts as a confession of “my fault” turns into a powerful reclamation of self-worth. The takeaway? Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is shut the door, let the rain pass, and welcome brighter days that are plus jamais ma faute—never my fault again.
