2 Why

I'm sorry if I stumble

Though I'm tense, I'll try

To give you what you're after, tell you more

I went along with Richard

That's the reason why

They put me here in 1924

It was a child who killed, a child back then

An old man still pays for that crime

And I ask to be set free now

Won't you try to see

That no one would be hurt after all this time

As I've said so often before

But you've asked a simple question

And I've told you why

It wasn't on a dare or on a whim

It's hard to comprehend now

That the reason why

Is simply that I went along with him
