I'm Not A Criminal

I didnt know that girl who was staring back at me,
Her face was twisted and her heart wasnt there,
She walked to me, spilling her blood all over the stairs,
Crying, she asked me, "Who are you to care?"

Was it my fault?
Did she leave because of me?
The thing I have become,
It scared her to death and now she's gone,

Her eyes were blinding and so full of damp hope,
Tears were streaming while the silence killed us both,
She asked me again and I had nothing left to say,
I balled my hands in fists, said, " I was the one you killed that day!"

Was it my fault?
Did she leave because of me?
The thing I have become,
It scared her to death and now she's gone,

Time to die,
Time to live a wasted life,
Ignoring warnings,
I spray and spray the sadness I can't hide,
Leaving home,
Hoping I might get somewhere,
I tie her hands behind her and throw her in the mines,
I can't hide it unless she dies,

She looked at me, startling eyes sing to me,
Such sweetness in her voice as she decodes the lyrics to me,
I didnt notice her old life standing in the way,
She tumbled to the bottom, my secrets finally kept away,

Its not a feeling of guilt, but I can't recall,
The last part of that song she sang to me,
It's all because of me,

Was it my fault?
Did she leave because of me?
The thing I have become,
It scared her to death and now she's gone,

Was it my fault?
Did she die because of me,
I can't turn back now,
I murdered who I used to be,

No rapture, no one to run to, no rapture, no one left to choose,

No, she died because of me
