Outlaw

I thought I was an outlaw, but I couldn't bear the shame
I couldn't bear the shame and spite the master
I thought I was a vandal, but I couldn't burn the gate
I couldn't burn the gate and slay the bastion
I thought I was the north star, but I couldn't brightly guide
I couldn't brightly guide the searching sailors
I thought I was the full moon, but I couldn't turn the tide
No, I couldn't turn the tide or dye it paler

I thought I was an outlaw, but I couldn't pay the price
I couldn't pay the price that they were asking
I thought I was a wild heart, but I never rolled the dice
I'd never rolled the dice and took my chances
I thought I was a beacon, but I couldn't keep the flame
No, I couldn't keep the flame and climb the ladder
I thought I was a witness, but I couldn't speak his name
No, I couldn't speak his name when most it mattered

I thought I was an outlaw, but I couldn't break your heart
I couldn't break your heart, I couldn't break your heart
