The wrong man was convicted

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 waits 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 waits 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 waits for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction,
The judgment´s my mistake
It´s my mistake
