Guilty
Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a prisoner of my own mind
I fall back into it everytime
But this pain i just can't hold it in
We a product of our own sin
I been driving down the same road
But i don't know which way to go
Memories of a different past
Torture me for living fast

In my head replaying what you said
This ain't living we already dead
Been at the bottom for so fucking long
Been all alone since i heard you're gone
Feel more than empty but thats nothing new
Would say i'm sorry if i could to you
I feel guilty just for waking up
All this money couldn't make it up

I'm a prisoner of my own mind
I fall back into it everytime
But this pain i just can't hold it in
We a product of our own sin
I been driving down the same road
But i don't know which way to go




Memories of a different past
Torture me for living fast

Line by Line Meaning

Shadows falling, baby, we stand alone
We are isolated, with no one to turn to


Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
Everyone has their own struggles to deal with


(It oughta be illegal)
Expressing a wish for something to be prohibited


Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
Desiring for no one to feel alone or sad


You got a reason for livin' You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You have a purpose in life and you fight for it with the love that you have


You gotta be mine We take it away It's gotta be night and say Just a matter of time
We need to be together and make the most out of our time


And we got nothing to be guilty of Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are And we never let it end We are devotion
Our love is pure and strong, we will overcome any obstacle and remain committed


And we got nothing to be sorry for Our love is one in a million Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Our love is unique, special and infinite


I don't wanna hear your goodbye
I don't want our relationship to end


Pulse's racing , darling How grand we are Little by little we meet in the middle There's danger in the dark
We are excited and happy about our journey together, but there are risks we will face


Make it a crime to be out in the cold
Desiring for people not to suffer or be left out


You got a reason for livin' You battle on with the love you're buildin' on Together
You have a purpose in life and you fight for it with the love and support of your partner


Don't wanna hear your And we got nothing to be guilty of
I don't want us to have anything to regret or feel sorry about
