Ooh-oh
Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh
Been waking up in the middle of the night
A cold sweat and a haunting cry
In these dreams of mine
Cashing out at the bank
Scraping up enough change
To pick up and run away
The tape was rolling (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
How could I forget
Silence is golden (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Least that's what my lawyer said
Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Of course, I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (oh)
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No, life will never
Life will never be the same
A button up and a long black tie (black tie)
A hurricane of tears fall from his mother's eyes
Swear if I could take it back, I would
Cause I never, I never
The tape was rolling (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
How could I forget
Silence is golden (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Least that's what my lawyer said
Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh)
Of course, I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (oh)
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No, life won't ever
Life will never be the same
What goes around comes around again
I'll never rest my eyelids
I'll suffer in this silence, no no (no)
In the mirror rehearsing my defense
I can barely stand the sight
I'm facing 25 to life
Cuffs gripping on my wrists tight
Tell my mama it'll be alright
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (oh)
It's only right I stand a trial
Now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made
No, life won't ever
Life will never be the same
