Arsenic Lyrics - Singles - The Loved Ones

Guess it'll pass here in my bed 

I set a ticking time bomb in my head 

I set it off to punish my transgressions 

as the poison makes its way 

I'm watching as my hands begin to shake 

and now it's just regrets and every second guess 

never thought we'd end up here that night when you said 

"the car's out back let's see this through 

they told me they had all this proof 

I know what I done is wrong 

I sealed your fate and told the truth 

Now the gallows hang for you 

They'll find me here in a couple of days 

I wonder what your wife and kids would say 

"he damn sure had it coming" 

They'll say I did it 'cause of shame 

'cause I went and damned you to be safe 

They'll say "it's just as well I hope he burns in hell 

and guilt dealt him a hand that forced his fate just the same" 

I sealed your fate and told the truth 

they told me they had all this proof 

they said they'd found the rusted spade 

and matched the footprints to your shoes 

now the gallows hang for you
