Alibi Lyrics by Brandi Carlile

The Firewatcher’s Daughter

2015

[Verse]
I done some bad bad things
The kind you don't bring up at confession
Somewhere in my life, woah
I took the wrong direction
I swear on my soul
I didn't want to hurt no one
But I got no way to justify
The things I done
[Chorus]
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't have to atone for my sins
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't take the fall for where I've been
[Verse]
You done some bad bad things
The kind that don't bare to mention
Something inside you died
Now you need some resurrection
If you don't want to go down
Just like the setting sun
You got to find a way to reconcile
The things you done
[Chorus]
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't have to atone for my sin
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't take the fall for where I've been
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't take the fall for where I've been
[Verse]
I swear some people in the world
They got no moral compass
I know the wicked ones
I feel them walk among us
The hangman begs for mercy
Only when his time has come
Because he got no way to
Rectify the things he done
[Chorus]
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't have to atone for my sin
If you're good at telling lies, you could be my alibi
And I won't take to the fall for where I've been
[Outro]
I won't take the fall for where I've been
I won't take that fall for where I've been, no
