An innocent man lyrics

Artist  : Joel billy 
Song : An innocent man
 
Some people stay far away from the doorIf there's
a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outsideAnd hope
that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touchAnd the
anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyoneSo nobody tells
them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourselfI know
you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt youBut I'm not aboveMaking up
for the love
You've been denying you could ever feelI'm not
above doing anything
To restore your faith if I canSome people see
through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the youngI'm only
willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent manI am an innocent
manOh yes I am
Some people say they will never believeAnother
promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too wellThey heard
somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every nightInstead of
taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hateThan to
wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I sayI know
you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can surviveI can
keep you alive
I'm not above going through it againI've not
above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understandSome people
run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never winAnd although
this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent manI am an innocent
manOh yes I amAn innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonightThat's
your decisionBut I'm not below
Anybody I knowIf there's a chance of resurrecting
a love
I'm not above going back to the startTo find out
where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cureSome people
just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and dieBecause I
am an innocent man
I am an innocent manOh yes I amAn innocent man
