I Confess

I was just out of spite, I confess I've ruined three lives

Don't sleep so tight, 'cause I didn't care 'til I found out that one of them was mine

Night after night, time after time, done too much of both sides of whining

Still wasn't right, fight after fight

To get out of my life, away from me, away from that gun

No, it's not a joke, it's cards on the table time

I could have phoned, I could have spoken

I'd break the news without breaking your heart

Being dead don't hurt, no, only dying

Cards on the table time, sometimes it's right to say goodnight

Always searchin' for paradise I'll admit I'm as good as blind, darlin'

I confess, yes, I've ruined three lives And I didn't get it, I found out that one

of them was theirs My love seems like a punishment

And I confess If it's all the same to you, I'll stay indifferent

I confess, I confess, I confess I confess, I confess, I confess

No one wins and there's no denying Don't pretend that you don't know why

Just a little word here, a little push there, darling

I confess, like, I confess that I don't really care

He confesses, I confess, I confess

Out like a lion, another boy who's given up trying

Blinded by pride, he screams my life's not open

Please get out, I know I'm sorry, I'd like to shout

I confess I confess I confess I confess I confess I confess I confess I confess I confess I confess
