lyrics

Judge and Jury
(Music and Lyrics, Patrick Burke)

You take your better side
And turn away from me
You seem to be inclined
To shut down what you're afraid to see

Oh, life is blue
Sometimes the sky will fall
Your voice is coming through
But I might not take the call
When you look to find a particular sign
Can you read the rules that you've redefined?

I'm sorry, so damn sorry
I missed it, I never guessed
You express yourself so well with silence
And I read your mind
But I must've missed it

You feel so self-contained
You are your own light
And the hand that I extend
Is the hand you bite

Oh life is short
Good friends are hard to find
It takes a strong will to ignore
Such a sinister downhill slide

When you read the lines that you've redefined
Can you leave the sign that you know is lying?

I'm sorry, so damn sorry
I missed it, I really missed it
Your judge and jury say
The guilty party is always out there...

I'm sorry, so damn sorry
I missed it, I never guessed it
You express yourself so well with silence
And I read your mind but I must've missed it

I'm sorry, so damn sorry
I missed it, I really missed it
Your judge and jury say
The guilty party is always out there...
