Backandtotheleft - False Alarm lyrics

Apologies, I've given them all How much more to pay? Shoot me a glance worth a thousand words But I've nothing left to say You can never wipe away the shame Of atrocities caused in my name Walk away all mad, but come back for more Then walk away again It's the same old game I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show But if it's wrong why does it feel so right? I beg of you don't leave me in the cold But when open arms are false alarms I'll know it's over You serve in the court of the public thought And put me on trial Turn the words I spoke in good faith against me My crimes are now on file In this secret world of faith and trust There isn't room for revengeful lust And as soon as I let down my guard It's decency you'll disregard And now I stand here all alone And it is all too clear How you wore me down like sand from stone Yet you never shed a tear What a sorry state of times To be guilty of the wrong crimes
