Lyrics

Dragged from my home
Half asleep into the night
I didn't say a word
I chose to be quiet

The flashing lights were blinding me
from every side

They tried so hard
But I never broke

They showed me evidence
All pointing straight to you
I thought about the new life
You said you always wanted

So I told them
I did it all
I'm the one you're looking for
There's no one else
Who can take the blame
You can put it all
You can put it all on me

They tried to get me accusing
You about your life

I didn't say a word
I chose to be quiet

Trying to make me a deal
To save my very own life

I took all the pain
But still they tried

They showed me evidence
All pointing straight to you
I thought about the new life
You said you always wanted

So I told them
I did it all
I'm the one you're looking for
There's no one else
Who can take the blame
You can put it all
You can put it all on me

Completely innocent
I was convicted
Quickly sentenced
To the ultimate penalty
They rushed me out
And I paid the price

Now you're free
To live a new life

It was me
I did it all
I'm the one you're looking for
There's no one else
Who can take the blame
You can put it all
You can put it all on me

I did it all
I'm the one you're looking for
There's no one else
Who can take the blame
You can put it all
You can put it all on me
You can put it all on me
You can put it all on me
