Lyrics: Heavens, I'm sorry for your loss A life cut short, it's such a tragic plot Now, your poor daughter We'll keep her in our thoughts But what a disgrace, we're mourning while her killer freely walks Jury's out, they cry for retribution Voices shout, "Her blood is on your hands" As if I'm not the one that has to live with Red under nails that won't wash out no matter how it ends 'Pon the boundary of loss and dream Irony put to sleep, so set the scene It's her or me, who's it gonna be? To lead a lie or watch your daughter die I forced the issue, what a waste of time It's wrong, it's right, and, god, I'm so alive So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye Lethal injection, guillotine, electric chair It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I weren't there I'll slip the noose they tie The fell boy's guilty as tried "Her life for mine" Gracious, the charges pile up A guilty conscious, case open and shut But wait, Your Honor, it's such a noble cause It's not like the victim's here to see your jaded justice done Did you know her? Her dreams? Her aspirations? One single sentence, address the rest So tell me how you knew her, embellish your relation Pain that you feign for a stranger 'cause you'd rather see me gone Don't look away from the boy whose smile sparks a flame Reclaimed, a crying shame that you don't feel the same 'Pon the boundary of sight unseen Irony lives and breathes In rest, in grief It's her or me, baby, who's it gonna be? To lead a lie or watch your daughter die I forced the issue, what a waste of time It's wrong, it's right, and, god, I'm so alive So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye Cooked in a cauldron, drawn and quartered, firing squad It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I were gone I'll slip the noose they tie The fell boy's guilty as tried "Her life for mine" Did you know her? Did you know that heavy heart? Did you know her? A fragile ego adorned in scars Did you know her? Did you know the nights spent crying in a voice drawn low? Did you know her? If you knew, you'd know I had to let her go To lead a lie or watch your daughter die As if the choice could end with me alive It's wrong, it's right, but, god, if only I Could give up a life I can hardly call mine Ring of the knell, the eulogy, the loss of heir It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I weren't there I'd give it one last try, if I could leave it behind for the renegade life To lead a lie or watch your daughter die I forced the issue, what a waste of time It's wrong, it's right, and, god, I'm so alive So leave her behind, it's an eye for an eye Lethal injection, guillotine, electric chair It'd all be so simple, oh, if only I weren't there I'll slip the noose they tie The fell boy's guilty as tried "Her life for mine" An ego set alight A stray boy justified This life is mine
