Go ahead, throw your axe at me
From your little glass house and then take off running
You're no better than me
We've both made mistakes intentionally
And I won't do what you keep doing
Sit in judgment of a house I ruined
I don't claim to be proud
But my head won't be hung in shame

I didn't plan it
But the light turned red and I ran it
And I'm still standing
It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here
I understand it
A story written by my own hand
It's life biting right at your heels
I didn't plan it
But it's finally something to feel

Look around you, ain't no saints here, baby
We're all just looking for a little less crazy
And sometimes it's a hard left turn
Down a road you never thought you'd see
And don't you think dealing blame is a hazard?
I'm not the only one whose dark side has her
