I didn't commit the crime but I'm a prisoner in this place
Using every vice I can to attempt to forget your face
The beauty that shone so brightly was the start of my demise
I tasted poison in your kiss and saw death in your eyes
Maybe I'll play the victim this brand new time around
Go up to the witness stand and keep staring at the ground

[Chorus:]
I'll point out who it was that shot shot me down
A river of tears, my ocean is the place in which I drown
I'm already sworn in so there's no going back now
I have to tell the truth and speak my thoughts aloud
Getting worse with every second as every lie amounds

Perjury and misery are the reasons for my stand
The way this love of ours went down was never planned
I meant to hold you for forever and never let you go
Was too caught up in my misery to pick up my damn phone
Maybe I'll play the victim this brand new time around
Go up to the witness stand and keep staring at the ground

I'll point out who it was that shot shot me down
A river of tears, my ocean is the place in which I drown
I'm already sworn in so there's no going back now
I have to tell the truth and speak my thoughts aloud
Getting worse with every second as every lie amounds

Victim of a biased system, I can't help myself
My escape rote got derailed and put on the shelf
Maybe I should try to let someone else in
Far too afraid to let love under my skin

I'll point out who it was that shot shot me down
A river of tears, my ocean is the place in which I drown
I'm already sworn in so there's no going back now
I have to tell the truth and speak my thoughts aloud
Getting worse with every second as every lie amounds

I'll point out who it was that shot shot me down
A river of tears, my ocean is the place in which I drown
I'm already sworn in so there's no going back now
I have to tell the truth and speak my thoughts aloud
Getting worse with every second as every lie amounds
