grey

I was sentenced to life
The only crime I committed was love
Without a chance of parole
I was covered in blood
I hear the faint echoes
From the gavel being swung by the judge

I was prosecuted as sin
Guilty of trust
Committed to I love you
Till it isn't enough
You took away my everything
Now you're really pushing your luck
You try to take the words back
Once the sentence is done

Now we all get stuck
The day you walked out on me
My cell door shut
You loaded your bags
I loaded my gun
Now I'm trying to harmonize
With living life on the run

I fell in love with the sound of a bullet walking away
Your love echoes in my brain
A sure shot never felt so unsure
Until I felt the pain of your ricochet
I spent 45 days and one long night
Just to justify my mistakes
And I thought everything was black and white
Till I was stuck inside your grey

We find that beautiful truth
That's kept hidden in a hideous lie

I was living in that sentence to die
Cause you were bound to show your true self
Your cold touch was getting me by
The lie's sweet but it was bitter inside
I felt the hangman's noose
The knot cut loose
There's blood on your hands
Yet they've got no proof
No need to go to trial
I know my truth

I'm guilty as charged for only loving you

I fell in love with the sound of a bullet walking away
Your love echoes in my brain
A sure shot never felt so unsure
Until I felt the pain of your ricochet
I spent 45 days and one long night
Just to justify my mistakes
And I thought everything was black and white
Till I was stuck inside your grey
