Well I've been robbing banks my whole life Till I watched a hostage hit the ground and start bleeding out The gun went off it my hands I swear I'm not a violent man I was underprepared I'm not a killer, I promise If there's another way down I'll be finding my way Taking my time I've been learning how to play And if everything's gone I'll be running away I'm gonna do better, better, better I promise I fled for miles and miles I didn't know where to run Little did I realize The end had just begun The police man found me crying by a lake I was He said: Son do you know what you've done Yeah If there's another way down I'll be finding my way Taking my time I've been learning how to play And if everything's gone I'll be running away I'm gonna do better, better, better I promise As I say there in court My lawyer turned to me He said the man that I killed that day was a father-to-be The judge threw his hammer down And sentenced me to death But I'm just unlucky not violent Now I'm leaving There are things I can't forget I'm standing on a trap door With a rope around my neck I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt nobody We've all done things that we regret If anyone cared They'd be looking away I've done my time But not enough to be saved If I've got any last words Nows the time to say I'm gonna do better, better, better I promise If there's another way down I'll be finding my way Taking my time I've been learning how to play And if everything's gone I'll be running away I'm gonna do better, better, better
