Well I've been robbing banks my whole life,
Until I watched a hostage hit the ground and start bleeding out.
The gun went off in my hands I swear,
I'm not a violent man I was under-prepared,
I'm not a killer I promise.
If there's another way down, I'll be finding my way.
Taking my time, and I've been learning how to play,
And if everything's gone, I'll be running away.
I'm gonna do better, better, better, I promise.
As I sat there in court, my lawyer turned to me and said,
The man that I killed that day was a father-to-be.
The judge threw his hammer down and sentenced me to death,
But I'm just unlucky, not violent.
Now I'm leaving, there are things I can't forget.
I'm standing on a trap door with a rope around my neck.
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt nobody,
We've all done things that we regret.
If anyone cared they'd be looking away.
I've done my time, but not enough to be saved.
If I got any last words, now's the time to say,
I'm gonna do better, better, better, I promise.
If there's another way down, I'll be finding my way.
Taking my time, and I've been learning how to play,
And if everything's gone, I'll be running away.
I'm gonna do better, better, better, I promise.
