Good luck means nothing to me
So exactly what does that mean
For me now have I given up
On almost everything

My scars are easy to see
Haunting reminders indeed
And they still bleed
For the first time I'm down on my knees

Begging, pleading now
Intercede please show me how

If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?
If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?

You're asking nothing of me
Just say goodbye and I'm free
It's so easy, I don't understand
But I want it more than anything

Can't seem to begin to release
This guilty conscience for peace
It's so hard till I'm back here
I'm back on my knees

Begging, pleading now
Intercede please show me how

If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?
If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?

Guilt has got the best of me
I'm holding on to almost nothing
Wondering if innocence
Could ever lead to my forgiveness

If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?
If I could survive, if I was innocent
Would you take the blame for me?

Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me? Guilty
Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me? Guilty

Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me? Guilty
Blame for me
Would you take the blame for me?
