alibi

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was looking for the light I don't wanna be the problem I was in it for the night You said you wanted something stronger than you had And that was that You took my hand and then we slipped out of the back You didn't tell, I didn't ask I guess that I assumed that it was it the past [Chorus] Oh Adeline, I'm not saying that it was a crime I know I shouldn't feel so surprised But I turned to stone when you called him back And you told him I'm out of your life 'Cause you just used me for an alibi Whatever makes you feel justified I took the fall and you fled the scene with my hands tied [Post-Chorus] Oh Adeline, why did you lie? (Lie to mе) Oh Adeline, why did you lie? [Verse 2] I wanna jump into a cab Tеll them "take me anywhere else" Was this always in the plan you had? A scapegoat to take the blame for what you did and what you said You took my hand and then you threw me off the ledge You didn't cry, I didn't beg I guess I'll fold while dealt a dirty hand [Chorus] Oh Adeline, I'm not saying that it was a crime I know I shouldn't feel so surprised But I turned to stone when you called him back And you told him I'm out of your life 'Cause you just used me for an alibi Whatever makes you feel justified I took the fall and you fled the scene with my hands tied [Bridge] And all you had to do was look back Did our fire thaw your frozen heart? You threw on the pile in your closet With your skeletons in the dark And we were laying on my deathbed Our story ended in the prologue You took what you wanted and ran back And I turned to stone [Outro] Oh Adeline, I guess that I was just an alibi I hope that helps you feel justified I took the fall and you fled the scene with my hands tied
