Claiming Innocence Lyrics by Mel Stone

Claiming Innocence

2022

[Verse 1]
I shouldn’t have to tell you, I’m a person
I shouldn’t have to say that we’re the same
But you keep treating me like dirt, and your actions bear no shame
This tree needs something to hang
He shouldn’t have to live with no father
He shouldn’t think that he’s a dirty name
But you keep on telling him lies, everyone in my group’s the same
This tree needs something to hang
[Chorus]
Where have you gone tonight?
Where did you get those scars?
You think you can look in my face and get away? But you’re never alonе
You think you can live your life claiming innocencе?
Where have you gone tonight? (It’s much too dark outside)
Where did you get those scars? (You cannot hide your lies)
You think you can look in my face and get away? But you’re never alone
You think you can live your life claiming innocence?
Where have you gone tonight?
[Verse 2]
She shouldn’t have to live with no partner
She shouldn’t have someone else to blame
Now she has to cope alone, her daily grind will never change
This tree needs something to hang
He shouldn’t have to live with no father
He shouldn’t think that he’s a dirty name
But you keep on telling him lies, everyone in my group’s the same
This tree needs something to hang
[Chorus]
Where have you gone tonight?
Where did you get those scars?
You think you can look in my face and get away? But you’re never alone
You think you can live your life claiming innocence?
Where have you gone tonight? (It’s much too dark outside)
Where did you get those scars? (You cannot hide your lies)
You think you can look in my face and get away? But you’re never alone
You think you can live your life claiming innocence? But you’re never alone
You think you can look in my face and get away? But you’re never alone
You think you can live your life claiming innocence?
Where have you gone tonight?
