Sentenced Lyrics - Singles - Leverage

I remember, I recall 

Like it was yesterday 

As I drag the ball and chain 

Lifetime has gone, no parole 

There's no getaway 

Time be done, my dying day 

Doesn't matter how it all went 

Doesn't matter how it started 

No one else was left to blame 

Sentenced 

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away 

She whispered, tears in her eyes 

Somewhere in my mind 

I knew there would be hell to pay 

I tried to keep my pride 

I was sentenced for life 

I didn't lie, I didn't fight 

Didn't try to run away 

Just raised my hands and dropped the gun 

All was calm when they came 

All was said and done 

And I just watched the smoke go down, down, down 

I finished what they started 

Doesn't matter how it all went 

All was gone just the same 

Sentenced 

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away 

She whispered, tears in her eyes 

Somewhere in my mind 

I knew there would be hell to pay 

I tried to keep my pride, oh 

Sentenced 

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away 

She whispered, tears in her eyes 

Somewhere in my mind 

I knew there would be hell to pay 

I tried to keep my pride 

I was sentenced for life 

Sentenced 

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away 

She whispered, tears in her eyes 

Somewhere in my mind 

I knew there would be hell to pay 

I tried to keep my pride, oh 

Sentenced 

Why couldn't you just turn and walk away 

She whispered, tears in her eyes 

Somewhere in my mind 

I knew there would be hell to pay 

I tried to keep my pride 

Hide it all inside 

I was sentenced for life
