So tonight I'll testify As an alibi To one who did me wrong Just the same old song and dance You've heard before
Though I'd like to stare you down And throw my accusations 'round Your only crime would be That you loved her more than me And that's all right
There's no way that I can say That we would've ended up this way If I'd taken time to let you know Down the line...
But if we have to lay the blame I can tell you I was just the same It was my fault for letting go
So I'll give you the key And I will set you free To live your life In a place far away from me
My only wish will be That she'll make you happy As you move on To a place far away from me
Now the evidence is clear The old chains that kept you here Are rusted through There's nothing I can do To make you stay
So I'll sit here with my guilt Behind iron bars I built To keep you in But it's me who's locked within From the very start
There's no way that I can say That we would've ended up this way If I'd taken time to let you know Down the line...
But if we have to lay the blame I can tell you I was just the same I should have never let you go
But I'll give you the key And I will set you free To live your life In a place far away from me
My only wish will be That she'll make you happy As you move on To a place far away from me
"For every time I cried I laughed a little For every time it hurt I smiled a little Even when things were bad I was never really sad Now I’ll say “good-bye” To the love that I had"
