Lyrics and translation
Original
Ooh-oh
Whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh
Been wakin' up in the middle of the night
A cold sweat and a hauntin' cry in these dreams of mine
Cashin' out at the bank
Scrapin' up enough change to pick up and run away
The tape was rollin' (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)
How could I forget?
Silence is golden (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)
Least that's what my lawyer said
Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)
Of course, I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (oh)
It's only right I stand a trial now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made?
No, life won't ever, life will never be the same
A button up and a long black tie (black tie)
A hurricane of tears fall from his mother's eyes
Swear if I could take it back, I would
'Cause I never, I never
The tape was rollin' (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)
How could I forget?
Silence is golden (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)
Least that's what my lawyer said
Oh, I never meant to hurt that man (whoa-ooh-whoa, oh, ooh-oh)
Of course, I never meant to hurt that man
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (oh)
It's only right I stand a trial now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made?
No, life won't ever, life will never be the same
What goes around comes around again
I'll never rest my eyelids
I'll suffer in this silence, no-no (no)
In the mirror rehearsin' my defense
I can barely stand the sight
I'm facin' 25 to life
Cuffs grippin' on my wrists tight
Tell my mama it'll be alright
Lord, forgive me for I've sinned (forgive me for I've sinned)
You see, I've shot a man down (oh)
It's only right I stand a trial now, now
Would you look at what a mess I've made?
No, life won't ever, life will never be the same
