Won & Lost

In this boring court room

All I see is white and black

Screams, yells and accusations

With no hope of turning back

I was in love with this profession once

Then it all became a money game

I did not succumb to the pressure of it

Because of this I did not get fame

I believe in the truth and only that

To win I cannot fabricate a lie

People have tried to buy my expertise

Instead of selling myself I'd rather die

And then you walk in one fine day

I was supposed to be fighting against you

You were calm, composed and restrained

Almost like it was too good to be true

Accused of killing your man you were

His family had hired me for their fight

I had all the proofs on my side

I knew my facts were absolutely right

And yet I was drawn to you

Your big eyes drowned me in

Nothing of me was left in me

As I fell head over heels in sin

You charmed me with every word

I fell for everything that you said

The facts suddenly seemed meaningless

It was your thoughts that filled my head

I could no longer think right

That was when I committed the crime

I threw away the evidence files

I did everything to make you mine

You played along beautifully

Holding back and yet giving it all

I had lost the case already

I was just waiting for the judge's call

You walked away innocent and free

I waited for you to come to me

I remembered all the promises you made

I'll show you the life you wanted to see

I saw you appear with a happy smile

I was dying to make you my wife

Your beautiful face flashed before my eyes

As you pierced my heart with your knife
