False Alarm

False Alarm - Backandtotheleft

Apologies, I've given them all

How much more to pay

Shoot me a glance worth

A thousand words

But I've nothing left to say

You can never wipe away the shame

Of atrocities caused in my name

Walk away all mad,

But come back for more

Then walk away again

It's the same old game

I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show

But if it's wrong

Why does it feel so right

I beg of you don't leave me in the cold

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

You serve in the court

Of the public thought

And put me on trial

Turn the words

I spoke in good faith against me

My crimes are now on file

In secret world of faith and trust

There isn't room for revengeful lust

And as soon as I let down my guard

It's decency you'll disregard

I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show

But if it's wrong

Why does it feel so right

I beg of you don't leave me in the cold

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show

But if it's wrong

Why does it feel so right

I beg of you don't leave me in the cold

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

And now I stand here all alone

And it is all too clear

How you wore me down

Like sand from stone

Yet you never shed a tear

What a sorry state of times

To be guilty of the wrong crimes

I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show

But if it's wrong

Why does it feel so right

I beg of you don't leave me in the cold

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show

But if it's wrong

Why does it feel so right

I beg of you don't leave me in the cold

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

I'm sorry if I'm putting on a show

But if it's wrong

Why does it feel so right

I beg of you don't leave me in the cold

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

But when open arms are false alarms

I'll know it's over

I'll know it's over
