I Won't Be There

See the lines on my face Where the years have cut deep See the shadows in my eyes Where i never sleep All I possess Is here in my hands All of my life I've been a hard working man You gonna need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day When you need me All you gotta do all you gotta say Is you need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day And I won't be there, I won't be there Hey I won't be there Hey When you need me Hey But I won't be there Hear the crack in my voice I could break down and weep Love is not so pure It can be dirty and cheap Like the bitterest of pills Is always hard to take How can something be so real Yet always be a fake I can feel the poison Ripping me apart Self pity overwhelming me And creeping through my heart You gonna need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day When you need me All you gotta do all you gotta say Is you need you need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day And I won't be there, I won't be there When you need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day When you need me All you gotta do all you gotta say Is you need you need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day And I won't be there, I won't be there Obscenities and lies Like a never ending stream You cut me to the bone With the violence of your screams A thousand tiny pieces Shattered on the floor I still hear your laughter In the closing of a door Oooow You gonna need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day When you need me All you gotta do all you gotta say Is you need you need me Gonna come a time gonna come a day And I won't be there, I won't be there When you need Hey Hey Hey Hey When you need me Hey Hey And I won't be there Don't walk away Hey Hey Hey Don't walk away Hey Hey Hey Don't you turn your back Hey Hey Cause I won't be there, I won't be there Hey
