Testify Lyrics by Mindslip

Mindslip

2015

[Verse 1]
Let me testify in my own defence
In my alibis I'm pleading ignorance

[Pre-Chorus]
I will swear to tell the truth, I will try to prove to you
I came before you on this day of consequence (Consequence)
If you look at the facts just before I reacted
All I could think of to say before you die (You die)

[Chorus]
Don’t come any closer
Or I'll have to do something we'll both regret (Regret)
I’m shaking on the inside
And I fear for my lifе
What was I supposed to do?
I maintain my innocence

[Verse 2]
Evеrything happened so fast (So fast)
My mind was racing (Racing, racing)
I fell into this trap (Into this trap, into this trap)
Before I had to fight for my life (Life)
If you look at the facts (Look at the facts)
It wasn't my fault (My fault, my fault)
I said if you take one more step
You will take your last breath
Don't you think that I won't
Leave me alone

[Chorus]
Don't come any closer
Or I'll have to do something we'll both regret (Regret)
I was shaking on the inside
'Cause I feared for my life
What was I supposed to do?
I maintain my innocence

[Bridge]
I said get back, you won’t touch me
I will fire this gun into you (Into you)
If you attack, I will react
If you know what’s good for you

[Chorus]
Don't come any closer
Or I’ll have to do something we'll both regret
I was shaking on the inside
'Cause I feared for my life
What was I supposed to do?

[Outro]
Don't come any closer
Or I’ll have to do something we'll both regret (Regret)
I'm shaking on the inside
'Cause I fear for my life
What was I supposed to do? (Do, do, do)

I will maintain my innocence
