I
Never know just what you're thinking of
But I know it's time to call your bluff
I ain't rushing now to stay away
Cuz I'm holding out another day
Can't get away
I'm trying
Gotta get away
Still I'm picking up those pieces you pulled down
Keep pulling, oh, yeah
I can hear you make the same old sounds
There's a new revolution
Taste my sweet execution
You must walk before you run
I'm gonna lay it on the line
This is my retribution
You
Always knew just how to make me cry
You never once could give the reasons why
Something tells me I was played the fool
But I know now just what I must do
Don't look now but I can say what's comin'
Oooh it's comin' up, yea, yea
No more tears it's time to send you runnin'
There's a new revolution
Taste my sweet execution
You gotta run before you walk
I'm gonna lay it on the line
This is my retribution
The tables are turning
Where were you when I was the only one there?
Reality burning
I see that you fin'lly realize that I now just don't care, no!
