Once you lose the trust you lose sincerity I'm sick and tired of acting sincere to your accusing eyes and ears

Oh, lovers need lawyers; all that I'm screaming's being held against me well, You're judge and jury, so hang me or take me for all I am worth better or worse

Yeah, we crossed the river alone; I also went home alone

Oh lovers need lawyers We're talking in circles, but missing the meaning of the reason we're fighting: you just want to make the best me that you can All I am take me for all I am worth Take me for all I am
