If you enjoyed this touching song, you can learn the lyrics. They hold a lot of meaning and emotion.
It all happened so fast, I can't recall
Policemen everywhere nowhere to run
It took a while but I came out of hiding with my hands up
They say if you know what's good for you come on out with your hands up
I've been running
Can't run no more
Got blood on my hands, yeah
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
No, no, no
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It all happened so fast, we can't undone
We'd just made love and it was so pure
And then my phone started ringing
You saw a name and got crazy
Nothing I said was true, you chose I didn't love you
Now I'm in trouble
Big big trouble
Got blood on my hands yeah
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
No, no, no
Oh, you and I
We were meant to be
Still in love going strong
In a perfect world
Guess I will be seeing you soon now
They saw I got to face the chair now
Oh no, no
Wish I could turn, wish I could turn back time
Whoo-oh, whoo-ooh
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Baby I didn't mean it to go this way
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
No, no, no
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
