criminal...

Last night I got a present. Last night I felt a little bit closer to the most important person in my life. Last night I learned more about her. Last night I was given Tidal, the Fiona Apple CD that I've been craving...

This is fitting today (a few liberties taken):
--Track #4
..Criminal..

I've been a bad bad man
I've been carelss with a delicate girl
And it's a sad sad world
When a boy will break a girl
Just because he can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
to The One i've sinned against
Because she's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come

Oh help me but don't tell me
To deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for her
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay

So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
--(oh man, those lines kill me... perfect)

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
to The One i've sinned against
Because she's all I ever knew of love
Because she's all I ever knew of love
Because she's all I ever knew of love
