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 thinkin' of somebody else.
Someone who hurt you but I'm not above
making up for the love you've been denyin' 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
I am an innocent man, oh yes I am.
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 any more.
I know you don't want to hear what I say.
I know you're gonna keep turnin' away.
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive.
I'm not above goin' through it again.
I'm not above bein' cool for a while.
If you're cruel to me, I'll understand.
Some people run from a possible fight,
some people figure they can never win.
And although this is a fight I could 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.
