Wvnder Grapevine Lyrics

Does my record show
That I'm damaged, disfigured with my faults exposed?
Cast your judgement aside for once

Stay close, and take a second glance
Forgive all the things that I can't change
These stones have been cast in advance
Before you knew my name

Flawed, and therefore labeled from the start
Maybe I haven't kept my hands clean but no one can decide where I belong
Draw all your conclusions from afar
But naming everybody guilty will only bring to light your own faults

I don't want to know
What happens through the grapevine you've struggled to grow
Keep your thoughts inside for once

Wake up and take another stance
Let go of all the things you fabricate
To hide you from the blame

Flawed, and therefore labeled from the start
Maybe I haven't kept my hands clean but no one can decide where I belong
Draw all your conclusions from afar
But naming everybody guilty will only bring to light your own faults

Your words don't sound the same in person
