lyrics

Just a tiny mistake, I never meant to make,
I swear I don’t tell lies
I don’t care what they say, they didn’t see a thing,
I’ve got an alibi
I know you were there, you saw everything,
my partner in crime
If the judge calls your name point your finger away,
keep your toes on the line

Are you my witness?
Are you my witness?
Or are you my weakness?

If they can’t see my hidden face, would you give me a place
to run away and hide?
Would you do anything? Drop down on one knee,
cheat, steal, and lie?
I’m guilty again, blood on my hands, made red by my sin
Don’t you pretend that what you said to me means nothing

Are you my witness?
Are you my witness?
Or are you my weakness?

And now that you know that the truth can’t set you free
you can lie to yourself, but you don’t have to lie to me
you can lie to yourself, but you don’t have to lie to me
you can lie to yourself, but you don’t have to lie to me…
