You’ve created this life for yourself
You’re afraid to begin it
You’ve created this hell for yourself
You can’t bear to live in it

You’ve pretended to care about me
All the while hiding your tainted plan
You’ve lusted after anyone who’d
Bother to give you a second glance

This time
When your world goes up in flames
And you have yourself to blame
I won’t be there
This time
When the walls come down on you
And you’re left all smashed and bruised
I won’t be there

When they leave your heart scarred
And empty from lack of attention
Just remember whom you’ve forsaken
And all the liberties you had taken

You now face this pain all alone
Nowhere left to call your home
No support from the backs you've stabbed
And all the fear sinks to the bone

This time
When your world goes up in flames
And you have yourself to blame
I won’t be there
This time
When the walls come down on you
And you’re left all smashed and bruised
I won’t be there
