Lyrics

[Verse 1] The jury found the verdict first degree They swore I planned her death to be I prayed they'd sentence me to die But they wanted me to live and I know why [Chorus] So I do life in prison for the wrongs I've done But I pray every night for death to come My life will be a burden every day If I could die, my pain might go away [Verse 2] Insane with rage, I took my darling's life Because I loved her more than life My dream for her will last a long long time But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind [Chorus] But I've got life in prison for the wrongs I've done And I pray every night for death to come My life will be a burden every day If I could die, my pain might go away If I could die, my pain might go away
