An Innocent Man Lyrics - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

Some people stay far away from the door 

If there's a chance of it opening up 

They hear a voice in the hall outside 

And hope that it just passes by 

Some people live with the fear of a touch 

And the anger of having been a fool 

They will not listen to anyone 

So nobody tells them a lie 

I know you're only protecting yourself 

I know you're thinking of somebody else 

Someone who hurt you 

But I'm not above 

Making up for the love 

You've been denying you could ever feel 

I'm not above doing anything 

To restore your faith if I can 

Some people see through the eyes of the old 

Before they ever get a look at the young 

I'm only willing to hear you cry 

Because I am an innocent man 

I am an innocent man 

Oh yes I am

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Some people say they will never believe 

Another promise they hear in the dark 

Because they only remember too well 

They heard somebody tell them before 

Some people sleep all alone every night 

Instead of taking a lover to bed 

Some people find that it's easier to hate 

Than to wait anymore 

I know you don't want to hear what I say 

I know you're gonna keep turning away 

But I've been there and if I can survive 

I can keep you alive 

I'm not above going through it again 

I've not above being cool for a while 

If you're cruel to me I'll understand 

Photos 

Some people run from a possible fight 

Some people figure they can never win 

And although this is a fight I can lose 

The accused is an innocent man 

I am an innocent man 

Oh yes I am 

An innocent man 

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite 

I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight 

That's your decision 

But I'm not below 

Anybody I know 

If there's a chance of resurrecting a love 

I'm not above going back to the start 

To find out where the heartache began 

Some people hope for a miracle cure 

Some people just accept the world as it is 

But I'm not willing to lay down and die 

Because I am an innocent man 

I am an innocent man 

Oh yes I am 

An innocent man
