Syrup of Trial

Lyrics

Loyalty Was Never My Crime Verse 1 Every argument ended With my fingerprints on the crime scene. You built your whole case Before hearing my plea. I’d own every wrong, Every scar that’s mine. But somehow your broken pieces Always ended up beside my name. I stayed when leaving would’ve been easy. Loyalty was never my crime. Pre-Chorus I’ll stand trial, Looking left and right For my partner in crime. They say a co-defendant Will flip when the pressure climbs. Funny how love gets expensive When somebody’s staring down time. Chorus You didn’t think I knew what I knew. You thought I’d never see the truth. I kept fighting for a future… You were fighting for an exit. Every argument ended With my fingerprints on the crime scene. I stayed when leaving would’ve been easy. Loyalty was never my crime. We were partners in crime… Until somebody needed more time. That’s when they dropped a dime. You didn’t think I knew what I knew. Verse 2 I was trying to save us, You were trying to save yourself. Every promise became evidence, Every memory Exhibit A. You kept rewriting history Just to make your story play. I searched for a bridge, You searched for a door. By the time I found the truth, You weren’t fighting for us anymore. Bridge I walked into court hoping to save us… You walked in hoping to win. I finally understood who I was. The jury could’ve called my name. But I’d already won the only verdict that mattered… I refused to become what you needed me to be. The hardest part wasn’t losing you… It was realizing I was the only one trying not to. Final Chorus You didn’t think I knew what I knew. You thought I’d never see the truth. I kept fighting for a future… You were fighting for an exit. Every argument ended With my fingerprints on the crime scene. I stayed when leaving would’ve been easy. Loyalty was never my crime. We were partners in crime… Until somebody needed more time. That’s when they dropped a dime. You won the case… But I walked away with myself.
