lyrics

Was 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,

So are you my witness?
Are you my witness?
Are you my weakness?
Oh yeah,

If they see my hidden face,
Would you give me a place,
To run away and hide,
Would you do anything,
Get down on your knees,
Cheat steal and lie,
I'm guilty again,
Got blood on my hands,
Stained by my sin,
But don't you pretend,
What you said to me,
Means nothing,

So are you my witness?
Are you my witness?
Are you my weakness?
Oh yeah,

Now that you know that the truth don'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,
You can lie to yourself but you don't have to lie to me,

You don't have to lie,
Don't have to lie,
You don't have to lie,
Don't have to lie,
