lyrics

when the trial
started monday
I decided
to represent myself

they called it on tv the trial of the century
it was covered endlessly for months
and months on end I tried to defend
all the actions I had made

when the jury
found me guilty
they said "lock him up
and throw away the key
his songs are out of tune
and ghosts are only thought balloons
and never talking parachutes at all"

and all the while
all I could do is smile
cause I knew things would
never be the same

cause the best part
is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart
knowing that I get to make a new start
even if it's in jail
it wasn't easy
but no one ever told me that it would
now I gotta say that I am relieved
relieved even though I failed
oh yeah I failed

so I said goodbye
to my family
the friends I
made on the way
I said "don't cry
oh believe me
I am in a
better place"

they laughed in disbelief
and asked what did I mean
I told them that the best was yet to come

cause the best part
is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart
knowing that I get to make a new start
even if it's in jail
it wasn't easy
but no one ever told me that it would
now I gotta say that I am relieved
relieved even though I failed
oh yeah I failed

Buddy showed up and apologized he said
"maybe saving Texas was a little over hyped
but don't worry we'll meet again someday"

and the best part
is knowing that I finally fixed my broke heart
knowing that I get to make a new start
even if it's in jail
it wasn't easy
but no one ever told me that it would
now I gotta say that I am relieved
relieved even though I failed
oh yeah I failed
