I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to
Believe me

But I
Won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now
Believe me

Yo
I don't wanna be the one to blame you
Like fun and games
Keep playin' 'em
I'm just sayin-
Think back then
We was like one in the same
On the right track
But I was on the wrong train
It's like that
Now you gotta face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain
Like a maze
You can never escape
The rain
Every damn day's the same shade of grey

Hey
I used to have a little bit of a plan
Use ta'
Have a concept of where I stand
But that concept slipped right outta my hand
And now
I don't really even know who I am
Yo
What do I have to say
Maybe I should do
What I have to do to break free
'N whatever happens to you
We'll see
But it's not gonna happen with me

I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to
Believe me

But I
Won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now
Believe me

Back then
I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could see all the pain I see
But you
Proved to me unintentionally
That you would self destruct eventually
Now I'm thinkin' like the mistake I made doesn't hurt
But its not gonna work
'Cause it's really much worse
Than I thought
I wished you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I got

You turn your back
And walk away in shame
All you got
Is a memory 'a pain
Nothin' makes sense
You jus' stare at the ground
I hear my voice in your head
When no one else is around
So what do I have to say
Maybe I should do
What I have to do
To break free
Man
'N whatever happens to you
We'll see
But it's not gonna happen with me

I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to
Believe me

But I
Won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now
Believe me

Yeah!

I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to
Believe me

But I
Won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now
Believe me

I will do what I have to do
You're on your own now
Believe me
Whatever happens to you
You're on your own now
Believe me
What do I have to say
You're on your own now
Believe me
Its not gonna happen to me
You're on your own now
Believe me

Yeah!
