Guilty

Album: The Architect (2017)

  • I've been a criminal, I made a mistake
    Believed in the fictional
    Then let everything slip away
    I can't accept my faith
    Thought the alternative looks so crystal clear
    Drowned in the muddy waters
    And I'm living in my worst fears
    Begging you back through tears

    You had this picture of me
    And now I have shattered your dreams
    I know the drill and I know the truth
    And it kills me

    Yeah, I'm guilty
    Don't come near me
    The one thing I'm good at is messing up somebody else
    Baby, I'm guilty
    I'm turning sweet love into poison
    And I got the scars, if you're talking 'bout hurt in this love
    Baby, I'm guilty as hell

    I sit here all alone, my defence is down
    Wishing I could be home
    But I'm locked out and it's my fault
    Grazes with added salt
    Thought I would be okay without you and I
    Now that I realize it was all just an awful lie
    Take me back, I might die

    You had this picture of me
    And now I have shattered your dreams
    I know the drill and I know the truth
    And it kills me

    Yeah, I'm guilty
    Don't come near me
    The one thing I'm good at is messing up somebody else
    Baby, I'm guilty
    I'm turning sweet love into poison
    And I got the scars, if you're talking 'bout hurt in this love
    Baby, I'm guilty as hell

    I should've known that I could not go on here without you
    Instead of walking away, know that I'll feel terrified
    I know I was wrong, now I'm hurting myself, I wish I knew
    Please, take me back, I don't wanna believe this goodbye, oh

    Yeah, I'm guilty
    Don't come near me
    One thing I'm good at is messing up somebody else
    Baby, I'm guilty as hell (yeah, I'm guilty)
    Oh, I'm guilty
    Don't come near me (but I know)
    The one thing I'm good at is messing up somebody else (please, forgive me darling)
    Baby, I'm guilty
    I'm turning sweet love (I'll turn sweet love) into poison (into poison, oh no)
    And I got the scars (oh no), if you're talking 'bout hurt in this love
    Baby, I'm guilty as hell Writer/s: Ben Kohn, Ella Henderson, Paloma Faith, Peter Kelleher, Tom Barnes, Wayne Hector
