[Barenaked Ladies - The Wrong Man Was Convicted lyrics]

Who's lonely now? Which one
Of us is suffering? Who's in his cups? Which
One of us recovering?
Who likes to look at pictures and cries
But way too late?
Who doesn't want to change a thing
Accepting it was fate?

The wrong man was convicted
You know I did the deed
I thought that you would wait for me
Your wants I needn't heed
The wrong man lies beside you
And wait's for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction
The judgment's my mistake

Who's breathless now? Who
Only hyperventilates?
Who'd die for you? Who's dying inside anyway?
Which one of us is sunshine
And which one's growing dim?
When two men dream of you at night
Do you just dream of him?

The wrong man was convicted
You know I did the deed
I thought that you would wait for me
Your wants I needn't heed
The wrong man lies beside you
And wait's for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction
The judgment's my mistake

Who's lonely now?
Who's reaching out to no one?
Who's lonely now? It takes one to know one
I changed my mind you said that
I could change it back i wanted space
And now change has fallen through the cracks
If I'm again beside your body
Don't tell me where it's been it's cruel
Unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin

The wrong man was convicted
You know I did the deed
I thought that you would wait for me
Your wants I needn't heed
The wrong man lies beside you
And wait's for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction
The judgment's my mistake

It's my mistake
