Guilty...
Guilty...
Guilty...
Guilty...

Don't cry
To leave the dream alive
So many times, we talk
But we never let it walk
Cause were so
So wrong
To leave to carry on
Only the strong survive
I could stay if get never side
Foolish heart
Foolish pride
Fool is everyone but me

Cause you can say what you want
I'm not guilty
Oh! if love was the only crime
I was guilty of

I'm not guilty (guilty)

So far
When our bodies came together Within a
Thousand miles away from the Fools and sleeps
To scape me bring
You can talk
You can lie
But the true is bring to see

You can say what you want
I'm not guilty
Cause love was the only crime
I was guilty of

Guitar (solo)...

You can talk
You can lie
But the true is bring to see
Foolish heart
Foolish pride
Fool is everyone but me
You can say what you want
I'm not guilty (guilty)
Love was the only crime
I was guilty of

Say it! say what you want!
I'm not guilty
Oh! if love was the only crime
I was guilty of
Foolish heart
Foolish pride
I'm not guilty
Say it! say what you mean!
I'm not guilty

Not guilty of your love
Oh! i'm not guilty




Not guilty of your love
Oh! not guilty of your love
