[Verse 1]
And I walked a thin line
Just get away from me, get away from me
And I cannot define
The meaning of what I did this time
I'm nothing but an endless joke
And everything goes up in smoke
I'm dancing with the devil
I'm broken in pieces
A sad excuse for a man
Hope that you can understand
The guilt I hold inside
Eats me alive
It eats me alive!
[Chorus 1]
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
[Verse 2]
You can be the judge
Juror, executioner
I deserve a sentence
To fuel all your vengeance
And it's full remorse for what I have done
If I'm locked away
Don't forget there's two sides to the story
If I'm condemned to a cell
To sit with my sins in hell
Then you better take notice
To the only notion
If I'm in here, she should be as well
[Chorus 2]
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
Can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
These streets are still haunted
You see, can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
Myself got the best of me
[Bridge]
I could point a finger, but you'd cut it off
I could tell you outright, it'd still be my fault
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me
When I say I'm sorry
I know that I'm wrong
I wanna say more
But I'll keep my mouth shut
Can't you see, can't you see
That you mean more to me
[Chorus 2]
Sometimes the worst faults are the ones we make
Once you've made the mistake
Temptation blurs the things I wanna say
Myself got the best of me
Can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
These streets are still haunted
You see, can't you see
That it's not what I wanted
Myself got the best of me
