Silent criminals analyzed
Through psychic waving tears (waving tears)
Superstitious minds collide
As silence fills the hall (fills the halls)
Silence moving proclamations
This silence proving lies
Speechless cries, emotions dull
Shouting out across the hall
Didn't mean to let you down
I'm shouting out, so ashamed
Didn't mean to run from you
I didn't mean to
Shouting out
(I'm shouting out)
Showing weakness in your eyes
You're crawling on your knees, (on your knees)
Roaming aimless through skies lost
As silence shakes the halls
Creeping past all illusions
Searching thoughts that hide
Silence breaks in weeping hands
Shouting out and in again
Didn't mean to run from you
I'm shouting out, so ashamed
Didn't mean to rush you down
I didn't mean to
Shouting out
Shouting out La de dum
Shouting out La de dum
La de da la de da da hum...
I've lived through things I cannot say, back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way, and now we look for hope and pray
If I had a second chance, I'd make amends
Only to find myself losing in the end
If I had a second chance, I'd make amends
Only to find myself losing, losing
It came up from the deepest sea, God gave it life and reason to be
His Shadow rose above the highest tree, and still His face we could not see
If I had a second chance, I'd make amends
Only to find myself losing in the end
If I had a second chance, I'd make amends
Only to find myself losing, losing
If I had a second chance, I'd make amends
Only to find myself losing in the end
If I had a second chance, I'd make amends
Only to find myself losing, losing
