[Verse 1]
Don't be there
Don't be there
'Cause I'm on my way
And I'm already gone over
And I'm on my way, hey

[Chorus]
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself

[Verse 2]
I'm down here
I'm down here
And you're way up there
That doesn't hurt badly
But it stings right here, hey

[Chorus]
I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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, hey

[Chorus]
I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself

[Bridge]
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]
I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself

[Chorus 2]
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

[Ending]
Don't be around
Don't be there
Don't be there
