lyrics

What did I do
To be stood in a room
No judge and no jury here
The strangest of trials, dear
What do I got to prove

I never said never
And he never really let her
Be who she ought to be
So she did what was best for me
I'm telling the truth

I am beginning to understand
The way my voice breaks and bends
Things I said but never meant
Make me who I am

Who makes the rules
And adheres to them too?
I long for the finer things
But the smoke clears and I always sing
Those hypocrite blues

I never said forever
But he wrote it in his letter
So I see what I wanna see
And then I act accordingly
I'm telling the truth

And I have now begun to understand
That allowing my voice to crack
Things I said and never took them back
Make me who I am

So please, please, please
Put some wind behind your teeth
Let your voice crack, it's only me
Embrace those shakes, it only means
It means this is real.
