Lyrics

I swear to speak the whole truth, nothing but the truth – oh, so help me god, I wasn't cheating on you. yeah i've got a spotty record, but i've been renewed. if you can't believe me – then what's to believe? once you lose the trust you lose sincerity. i'm sick and tired of acting sincere to your accusing eyes and ears

Oh, lovers need lawyers; all that i'm screaming's being held against me. well, you're judge and jury, so hang me or take me for all I am worth – better or worse

Yeah, I was drinking. yeah, she was drinking there too, and, yeah, we made a connection – we came from the same neighborhood. but, surely you can't charge me for that, that's merely fact –merely coincidence. so, there we were, outlasting the last call. we took a cab to iowa for more alcohol

Yeah, we crossed the river alone; I also went home alone

Oh lovers need lawyers. we're talking in circles, but missing the meaning of the reason we're fighting: you just want to make the best me that you can. all I am – take me for all I am worth. take me for all I am

I could never take another's hand… it's to you i'm condemned
