Loved Ones, The

Guess itll pass here in my bed
I set a ticking time bomb in my head
I set it off to punish my transgressions
As the poison makes its way
Im watching as my hands begin to shake
And now its just regrets and every second guess
Never thought wed end up here that night when you said
The cars out back, lets see this through
They told me they had all this proof
I know what I have done is wrong
I sealed your fate and told the truth
Now the gallows hang for you
Theyll find me here in a couple of days
I wonder what your wife and kids would say
He damn sure had it coming
Theyll say I did it cause of shame
Cause I went and damned you to be safe
Theyll say its just as well, I hope he burns in hell
Guilt dealt him a hand that forced his fate just the same
I sealed your fate and told the truth
They told me they had all this proof
They said theyd found the rusted spade
And matched the footprints to your shoe
Now the gallows hang for you
This turned out to be my fatal mistake
And Ill take it to my grave
Say a prayer, my souls at the stake
And theres not much left to save
I sealed your fate and told the truth
They told me they had all this proof
They said theyd found the rusted spade
And matched the footprints to your shoes
Now the gallows hang for you
