Alibi - Brandi Carlile

I done some bad bad things

The kind you don’t bring up at confession

Somewhere in my life, woah

I took the wrong direction

I swear on my soul

I didn’t want to hurt no one

But I got no way to justify

The things I done

If you’re good at telling lies

You could be my alibi

And I won’t have to atone for my sins

If you’re good at telling lies

You could be my alibi

And I won’t have to the fall for where I’ve been

You done some bad bad things

The kind that don’t bare to mention

Something inside you died

Now you need some ressurrection

If you don’t want to go down

Just like the setting sun

You got to find a way to reconcile

The things you done

If you’re good at telling lies

You could be my alibi

And I won’t have to the fall for where I’ve been

I swear some people in the world

They got no moral compass

I know the wicked ones

I feel them walk among us

The hangman begs for mercy

Only when his time has come

Because he got no way to

Rectify the things he done

I won’t take the fall for where I’ve been

I won’t take that fall for where I’ve been, no
