Well I've been robbing banks my whole life
Till I watched a hostage hit the ground and start bleeding out
The gun went off it my hands I swear I'm not a violent man
I was underprepared I'm not a killer, I promise
If there's another way down I'll be finding my way
Taking my time I've been learning how to play
And if everything's gone I'll be running away
I'm gonna do better, better, better I promise
I fled for miles and miles I didn't know where to run
Little did I realize
The end had just begun
The police man found me crying by a lake I was
He said: Son do you know what you've done
Yeah
If there's another way down I'll be finding my way
Taking my time I've been learning how to play
And if everything's gone I'll be running away
I'm gonna do better, better, better I promise
As I say there in court
My lawyer turned to me
He said the man that I killed that day was a father-to-be
The judge threw his hammer down
And sentenced me to death
But I'm just unlucky not violent
Now I'm leaving
There are things I can't forget
I'm standing on a trap door
With a rope around my neck
I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to hurt nobody
We've all done things that we regret
If anyone cared
They'd be looking away
I've done my time
But not enough to be saved
If I've got any last words
Nows the time to say
I'm gonna do better, better, better I promise
If there's another way down I'll be finding my way
Taking my time I've been learning how to play
And if everything's gone I'll be running away
I'm gonna do better, better, better
