Falling in love was my only crime
Now I'm here marking time
These jail bars are hard and cold
But I won't be growing old
The executioner's on his way
To collect a debt that I must pay
The heartless gallows of your love
Left my heart aching
There's never been a crueler judge
'Cause I will never rise above
Then the heartless gallows of your love
I shout at people passing by
Hear my story heed my cry
Don't give your heart to someone who
Will never fall in love with you
They just shrug and walk away
One day, they might take my place
The heartless gallows of your love
Left my heart aching
There's never been a crueler judge
'Cause I will never rise above
The heartless gallows of your love
