Innocent Party Lyrics

Innocent Party - Jetty Bones

I'm holding back my own hair now

Cause you don't even want to hold my hand

I can't change the person I was before I met you

I can't change where I've been

But how could I have told you when you didn't want to hear it

And how can I tell you now if you don't want to listen

I wasn't always the person that I am now

But I worked so hard to get here

And all I want is for you to hear me out

Or am I singing to a crowd of new deaf ears

I haven't always been quite this innocent

But I worked so hard to get here

Haven't always been quite this innocent

But I worked so hard to get here

The road to recovery was a long one

In case you want to know

I was reduced to nothing but my shell

While trying to find someone who would love the exterior

Well I subsequently destroyed my inner self

But how could I have told you when you didn't want to hear it

And god I really need this now so tell me that you'll listen

I wasn't always the person that I am now

But I worked so hard to get here

And all I want is for you to hear me out

Or am I singing to a crowd of new deaf ears

I haven't always been quite this innocent

But I worked so hard to get here

Haven't always been quite this innocent

But I worked so hard to get here

I fell for a trick and fell into the trap of thief's bed

Who stole what I've known

Corrupted my bones and left me there for dead

He borrowed my body until my skin started rotting through my head

I woke up alone and these jutting bones were all that I had left

I was all that I had left

And I felt totally inept

I tried to use my body to connect

That gaping hole right through my chest

But I was nothing but rotting flesh

No I was nothing but rotting flesh

Confused I cried and wept

For god to take me back

I wasn't always the person that I am now

But I worked so hard to get here

I wasn't always the person that I am now

But I worked so hard to get here
