Every story carved into these crumbling walls Starts with I was innocent Blame my mother Blame my father Blame my coldhearted lover But know that I was innocent Didn't want to steal Didn't mean to run Didn't pull the trigger Didn't hide the gun Every cry aimed at that tiny square of sky Rings with you are guilty too You have lied and you have lusted You've misused and mistrusted Oh yeh you are guilty too Didn't want to steal Didn't mean to run Didn't pull the trigger Didn't hide the gun Every whisper mumbled in these bad dream slumbers Stops with please leave me be Please don't haunt me Don't confront me Please don't push the truth upon me Oh no please leave me be Didn't want to steal Didn't mean to run Didn't pull the trigger Didn't hide the gun All I ever wanted was to save her But I guess I lost myself In the prison of our good intentions The wicked warden laughs Behind your back Didn't want to steal Didn't mean to run Didn't pull the trigger Didn't hide the gun Didn't want to steal Didn't mean to run Didn't pull the trigger Didn't hide the gun Didn't pull the trigger Didn't hide the gun Didn't want to steal Didn't mean to run
