Ooh-oh Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh Ooh-oh Woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh Been waking up in the middle of the night A cold sweat and a haunting cry In these dreams of mine Cashing out at the bank Scraping up enough change To pick up and run away The tape was rolling (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh) How could I forget Silence is golden (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh) Least that's what my lawyer said Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh) Of course, I never meant to hurt that man Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned) You see, I've shot a man down (oh) It's only right I stand a trial Now, now Would you look at what a mess I've made No, life will never Life will never be the same A button up and a long black tie (black tie) A hurricane of tears fall from his mother's eyes Swear if I could take it back, I would Cause I never, I never The tape was rolling (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh) How could I forget Silence is golden (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh) Least that's what my lawyer said Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (woah-ooh-woah, oh, ooh-oh) Of course, I never meant to hurt that man Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned) You see, I've shot a man down (oh) It's only right I stand a trial Now, now Would you look at what a mess I've made No, life won't ever Life will never be the same What goes around comes around again I'll never rest my eyelids I'll suffer in this silence, no no (no) In the mirror rehearsing my defense I can barely stand the sight I'm facing 25 to life Cuffs gripping on my wrists tight Tell my mama it'll be alright Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned) You see, I've shot a man down (oh) It's only right I stand a trial Now, now Would you look at what a mess I've made No, life won't ever Life will never be the same
