Guilty
Assassins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes you ache and feel guilty as hell
'Cause you're guilty, guilty all the way around
Makes you fall down, 'cause you're guilty
Don't want to talk about it, you'll just get upset
Don't have the time to start over, 'cause this is the best you'll get
We'll save my heart, we'll save my soul
You don't need me to make you low
'Cause you're guilty
Oh yeah
One more blow that won't let go
We'll save my heart, we'll save my soul
You don't need me to make you low
'Cause you're guilty
God, yeah, I'm guilty
Guilty, guilty like no other
There's no way out when you're guilty
I try not to think about it, 'cause I'm already spent
Took half my life to realize that this is the best it gets
One more blow that won't let go
We'll save my heart, we'll save my soul
You don't need me to make you low
'Cause you're guilty
Oh yeah
One more blow that won't let go
We'll save my heart, we'll save my soul
You don't need me to make you low
'Cause you're guilty
God, yeah, I'm guilty
One more blow, won't let go
Save my heart, save my soul
Don't want to talk about it, you'll just get upset
Don't have the time to start over, 'cause this is the best you'll get
One more blow that won't let go
We'll save my heart, we'll save my soul
You don't need me to make you low
'Cause you're guilty
Oh yeah
One more blow that won't let go
We'll save my heart, we'll save my soul
You don't need me to make you low
'Cause you're guilty
God, yeah, I'm guilty (x4)
