being on the run
there is nothing like
not being the guilty one
All I know is this
I'm falsely accused
I don't know why,
This makes you so ammused.
I have fallen,
I've been shot down.
I have fallen,
Farther than the ground.
Pick me up and smile.
Tell me it's all right.
Pull me up and let me
See the bloody light
[I'm not an angel..
can't you see..
There's nothing perfect
about me...
But I'm not a criminal
tho i might appear to be
but don't act like I'm an animal.
I'm innocent as I can be.]
There is no reason
Why you shouldn't trust me
There is no reason
To point the finger at me
The things you want to hear,
Aren't on my tounge,
Why don't you realize,
All your accusations stung.
Why should I stick around,
And be tortured like this,
Why should I stick around,
If I go, I won't be missed.
Give me a reason,
why I should withstand this,
why should I stay,
And feel the force of your fists.
[chorus]
??{I'm not... who you think I am...
I'm just a victim..
Not a missing link.
Why for deserving high respect,
am I treated like I am inept.
I'm not who you want me to be...
I'm just a girl, you want to see
shut away for all her days.
For doing nothing, but standing by...}?? bridge??
[chorus]
(softer and 8va and single note finger)
I have fallen,
I've been shot down.
I have fallen,
Farther than the ground.
Pick me up and smile.
Tell me it's all right.
Pull me up and let me
See the bloody light
(chords again, crecendo)
Freedom.
Just let me see it...
Just let me breathe it...
One final time.
Integrity.
Just let me keep mine...
Don't throw it away...
oh wait, you already have.
[chorus]
