Proof
Truth

Suspect I've rejected,
I have wounded
Truth be told,
I've been bad
Ashamed,
To blame 

Horrified all over me,
I listened, I listened
I listened, my love 

Mister, punish me
I love thee 

I'm guilty, I'm guilty,
I'm guilty, my love 

Meet me on the dark side
Enter from the inside
Meet me on the dark side
Enter from the inside 

He left me overseas
I turned to a mouth
I could please 

Everyone has a dark side
Why don't you like mine 

Shame
Blame

Sentenced to life,
Imprisoned by fate
Shame, blame,
It's the shame game
But I will love again 

Meet me on the dark side
Enter from the inside
Meet me on the dark side
Enter from the inside 

He left me overseas
I turned to a mouth
I could please 

Everyone has a dark side
Why don't you like mine 

Cross my heart
Is powerful with the course of love
Of love 

It was locality, morality,
Dictating prison trap
I was following, grazing, 
Wasting, accepting,
In my good girl suit 

I was lying and cheating,
And sucking and kissing,
In my bad girl boots 

Ah ah
Ah ah
Do you swear the truth and nothing but?
No. 

I will love again
With my good 
And my bad parts 

Meet me on the dark side
Enter from the inside
Meet me on the dark side
Enter from the inside 

Meet me on the dark side
(He left me overseas)
Enter from the inside
(I turned to a mouth)
Meet me on the dark side
(I could please)
Enter from the inside 

Meet me on the dark side
(Everyone has a dark side)
Enter from the inside
(Why don't you like mine)
