criminal

talked to my good friend rolan last night. i can't believe how utterly selfish and naive i was. and yes, what i did was criminal. can't make that mistake again, now that a new (and different) opportunity is manifesting itself.

this one's by fiona apple.

i've been a bad, bad girl.
i've been careless with a delicate man.
and it's a sad, sad world
when a girl will break a boy just because she can.

don't you tell me to deny it.
i've done wrong and i wanna suffer for my sins.
i've come to you 'cause i need guidance to be true,
and i just don't know where i can begin.

what i need is a good defense
'cause i'm feelin' like a criminal
and i need to be redeemed to the one i've sinned against
because he's all i ever knew of a love.

heaven help me for the way that i am.
save me from these evil deeds before i get them done.
i know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
but i keep living this day like the next will never come.

oh help me, but don't tell me to deny it.
i've gotta cleanse myself of all these lies till i'm good enough for him.
i've got a lot to lose and i'm betting high so i'm begging you,
before it ends, just tell me where to begin.

what i need is a good defense
'cause i'm feelin' like a criminal
and i need to be redeemed to the one i've sinned against
because he's all i ever knew of a love.

let me know the way before there's hell to pay
give me room to lay the law and let me go.
i've got to make a play to make my lover stay,
so what would an angel say the devil wants to know?

what i need is a good defense
'cause i'm feelin' like a criminal
and i need to be redeemed to the one i've sinned against
because he's all i ever knew of a love.
