Don't be there
'Cause I'm on my way

And I'm already
Gone over
And I'm on my way

CHORUS
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot or
Shoot myself

I'm down here
And you're way up there

But that doesn't
Hurt badly
But it stings right here

And I won't pretend there's
Nothing there
You be around and
I'll be square
Don't be alarmed if
I'm not there
You be around and
I'll be square

If you're a rose
Then I'm the thorn
That's in your side

And does it
Hurt badly
'Cause it burns right here

CHORUS

I'd like to say hello
I'd like to say I care
I'd like to let you know
That nothing here's the
Same with me
Nothing here's the same

CHORUS

Don't be around
Don't be there
