Guilty without trial

Verse 1

They called me in and shut the door

Like they’d already heard the score

Faces cold and voices dry

Like they’d already said goodbye

Pre-Chorus

I tried to speak but they looked away

Like my words were already too late

Chorus

Guilty without a trial

Sentenced by a whisper

No judge, no jury

Just the sound of your anger

Truth don’t matter

When the story spreads fast

Now I’m paying for a crime

From your past

Verse 2

Every mile I drove, every hour I gave

Didn’t matter in the end that day

Years of work just thrown aside

For a story built on someone’s pride

Pre-Chorus

The verdict came before the facts

Chorus

Bridge

Maybe someday they’ll hear my side

Maybe someday they’ll realize

The truth was standing in the room

But lies were louder than the truth

Breakdown Chorus

Guilty without a trial

Condemned by a rumor

Justice never showed up

Just somebody’s anger

Final Chorus

Truth don’t matter when the story spreads fast

But lies don’t survive forever in the past

Someday the truth will rise again

Long after your whisper ends
