"Guilty" lyrics

This is for the times you want to be yourself
This is for luck, this is for the more you sell
They're taking your picture and framing it up on the shelf

Words of wisdom, you'll be sorry that you spoke
Calendar portraits that hang until you choke
You prayed for the start of it, now you're the heart of it all
And everybody recognizes you, you must be guilty

This is for the days you wouldn't count the cost
When you find your gift's another empty box
You swagger like Broadway, pretending that nothing's been lost
Guilty, guilty

This is for temptation, this is for the need
This is for the dreams that everybody dreams, oh...
You're swimming in starlight, so

You must be guilty for the pages dripping every quote
For the clues in every little line they wrote
You're guilty for thinking your story is offering hope
Still they come dragging the meaning from every note
Guilty, guilty

This is for the times you want to be yourself
Guilty, guilty
