(a variation on the original, as sung by Demona)

Well I'm blameless of the things they're telling you
Daughter, none of it's remotely true
Daughter, none of it's my fault
*
And I'm hoping, child, I can make you see
Oh, my life's just a tragedy
Please don't judge me by default
*
You must know fully well that we've never been
Really trusted by the world we've been living in
You may not trust me, you might think I've lied
But if you would simply hear my side
*
I'm blameless, daughter, time can take its toll
I've seen horrors that would blast your soul
In a life of miseries
*
But I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise
But you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
*
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
*
I have never let anything have this much control over me
I worked too hard to call my life my own
Well I made myself a world and it worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I'm so confused
I never had so much to lose
*
I'm blameless
*
[instrumental]
*
You know it don't come easy in a life this long
To say, "I'm sorry" or admit that I'm wrong
I've never lost anyone I ever missed
But I've never known a love like this
*
You've got to believe
*
I'm blameless, no one can prove diff'rent now
But can't you love me anyhow?
Can't you please just let it go?
*
I'm blameless, blameless as a garg can be
Child, they can pin a thing on me
They just don't want you to know
*
I am blameless
Blameless
Blameless
