Lyrics
Guilty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Guilty as sin, yes I confess
I can't deny
Strong in the heart, weak in the flesh
I never meant to do you wrong
I swear the soul gets blistered along the way
But when you hurt the things you love
You gotta know
If you mean hope, if you mean fear
Of those words that you've been longing to hear
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty, I'm guilty of all the above
Can't hide the truth, I stand accused
Don't ask me why
I question every move and thought I had
That's going on inside
I swear the soul gets blistered along the way
But when you hurt the things you love
You gotta know
If you mean hope, if you mean fear
All those words that you've been longing to hear
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty
And if it's wrong to feel this right
I can't help it and I won't fight
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty, I'm guilty of all the above
It's not my first offence and it won't be the last
I would not change a thing except what's in the past
If you mean hope, if you mean fear
All those words that you've been longing to hear
If you mean faith, if you mean love
Then I'm guilty of loving you
If you mean hope (guilty), if you mean fear, never said I was innocent
(Heal me)
Wrap your arms around me
If you mean, if you mean love and it's you that I want
And I won't fight
And if it's wrong, it feels right
Guilty, guilty
