alibi

i was looking for the light

i don’t wanna be the problem

i was in it for a night

you said you wanted something stronger

than you had

& that was that

you took my hand

and then we slipped out of the back

you didn’t tell

i didn’t ask

i guess that i

assumed that it was in the past

oh adeline

i’m not saying that it was a crime

i know i shouldn’t feel so surprised

but i turned to stone

when you called him back and you told him

i’m out of your life

guess you just used me for an alibi

whatever makes you feel justified

i took the fall

and you fled the scene with my hands tied

oh adeline, lie lie lielie

why did you lie lie lie

i wanna jump into a cab

and tell them take me anywhere else

was this always in the plan you had

a scapegoat to take the blame for

what you did

and what you said

you took my hand

and then you threw me off the ledge

you didn’t cry

i didn’t beg

i guess i’ll fold while being dealt a dirty hand

oh adeline

i’m not saying that it was a crime

i know i shouldn’t feel so surprised

but i turned to stone

when you called him back and you told him

i’m out of your life

guess you just used me for an alibi

whatever makes you feel justified

i took the fall

and you fled the scene with my hands tied

all you had to do was look back

did our fire thaw your frozen heart

threw me on the pile in your closet

with your skeletons, in the dark

we were laying on my death bed

our story ended in the prologue

took what you wanted and ran back

into his arms, i turned to stone

oh adeline

i guess that i was just an alibi

i hope that helps you feel justified

i took the fall

and you fled the scene with my hands tied
