Don't Be There Lyrics

Don't be there

'Cause I'm on my way



And I'm already gone over

And I'm on my way



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



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



Don't be around

Don't be there
