[00:40.49]The jury found the verdict first degree
[00:48.29]They swore I planned her death to be
[00:55.16]And I prayed they’d sentence me to die
[01:02.46]But they wanted me to live and I know why
[01:08.83]So I’d do life in prison
[01:13.14]For the wrongs I’ve done
[01:16.64]And I pray every night for death to come
[01:22.92]My life will be a burden every day
[01:30.37]If I could die
[01:32.58]My pain might go away
[02:05.10]With trembling hands I took my darling’s life
[02:13.34]Because I loved her more than life
[02:19.30]My love for her will last a long, long time
[02:26.57]And I’d rather die than live to lose my mind
[02:33.36]And I’ll do life in prison
[02:37.77]For the wrongs I’ve done
[02:41.27]And I pray every night for death to come
[02:47.43]My life will be a burden every day
[02:54.80]If I could die
[02:56.83]My pain might go away
[03:01.40]If I could die
[03:04.02]My pain might go away
