[00:09.80] Some people stay far away from the door
[00:13.10] If there's a chance of it opening up
[00:19.00] They hear a voice in the hall outside
[00:22.60] And hope that it just passes by
[00:28.00] Some people live with the fear of a touch
[00:31.70] And the anger of having been a fool
[00:37.20] They will not listen to anyone
[00:40.30] So nobody tells them a lie
[00:46.20] I know you're only protecting yourself
[00:50.70] I know you're thinking of somebody else
[00:55.00] Someone who hurt you
[00:56.30] But I'm not above making up for the love
[01:01.00] You've been denying you could ever feel
[01:06.70] I'm not above doing anything
[01:10.00] To restore your faith if I can
[01:15.70] Some people see through the eyes of the old
[01:19.10] Before they ever get a look at the young
[01:24.80] I'm only willing to hear you cry
[01:28.20] Because I am an innocent man
[01:39.50] I am an innocent man
[01:47.30] Oh yes I am
[01:52.10]
[01:58.20] Some people say they will never believe
[02:02.00] Another promise they hear in the dark
[02:07.30] Because they only remember too well
[02:10.40] They heard somebody tell them before
[02:16.10] Some people sleep all alone every night
[02:19.80] Instead of taking a lover to bed
[02:25.30] Some people find that it's easier to hate
[02:29.70] Than to wait anymore
[02:34.30] I know you don't want to hear what I say
[02:38.70] I know you're gonna keep turning away
[02:42.90] But I've been there and if I can survive
[02:46.60] I can keep you alive
[02:49.00] I'm not above going through it again
[02:54.30] I've not above being cool for a while
[02:57.80] If you're cruel to me I'll understand
[03:03.40] Some people run from a possible fight
[03:06.70] Some people figure they can never win
[03:12.40] And although this is a fight I can lose
[03:15.60] The accused is an innocent man
[03:26.80] I am an innocent man
[03:34.40] Oh yes I am
[03:39.00] An innocent man
[03:44.90] You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
[03:49.10] I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
[03:55.60] That's your decision
[03:56.80] But I'm not below
[03:59.30] Anybody I know
[04:01.30] If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
[04:06.90] I'm not above going back to the start
[04:10.10] To find out where the heartache began
[04:15.60] Some people hope for a miracle cure
[04:18.90] Some people just accept the world as it is
[04:24.85] But I'm not willing to lay down and die
[04:28.00] Because I am an innocent man
[04:39.10] I am an innocent man
[04:46.30] Oh yes I am
[04:50.70] An innocent man
[04:54.80]
[05:15.00]
