Standing Trial

I’m not gonna bore anyone by bitchin bout my mom or dad
Cause they were there for me and that’s all I had
Yeah I’ve fucked up bad,
And I’ve made some people mad,
But that’s cause of me
I don’t try to, but I say stupid shit
You don’t have to have a fit

Cause in my heart I’m standing trial,
But regret isn’t my style
You can take the stand,
But the verdict is in my hand

So you see it’s my fault and I’m owning up to it all
I’m sorry to anyone I hurt walking this long hall
You can accept it or not, its your call
But I’m not gonna fall
This is my life and I live my way
Can you understand that?
Cause I’m not your door mat

Cause in my mind I’m standing trial,
But regret isn’t my style
You can take the stand,
But the verdict is in my hand

Verdict is in and it’s looking good from here
But I still feel it, that hateful leer
Oh well, you live your life full of hate
I’m a lover not a hater and I like my fate
Court adjourned, end of story
I’m livin my life, I’m in no hurry

Cause in my heart I’m standing trial,
But regret isn’t my style
You can take the stand,
But the verdict is in my hand
