Believe Me

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah, see that

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

Ryu:

Yeah, I don't want to be the one to blame

You like fun and games

Keep playing 'em, I'm just saying

Think back then you was like one of the same

On the right track, but I was on the wrong train

'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 mange you can never escape

The rain every damn day's the same shade of grey

Mike:

Ey, I used to have a little bit of a plan

Used to have a concept to where I stand

But that concept slipped right out of my hand

Now, I don't even really 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's gonna happen to you

We'll see

But it's not gonna happen to 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

Mike:

Well 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 selfdestruct eventually

Now I'm thinking like the mistake

A m- doesn't hurt

But it's not gonna work 'cause it's really much worse

than I thought

I wished that you were something you were not

And now this guilt is really all that I got

Tak:

Oh, you turn your back and walk away in shame

All you got is a memory and pain

Nothing makes sense, you just stare at the ground

You hear my voice in your head when no one else is

around

What do I have to say?

Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free

'n whatever's gonna happen to you

We'll see

But it's not gonna happen to 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

(drums and Mike saying YEAH, let's go)

I guess that this is where we've come to

YEAH

If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me

But I will be there when you go down

YEAH

Just so you know now

You're on your own now, believe me

I'll do what I have to do

[You're on your own now believe me]

Whatever happen to you

[You're on your own now believe me]

What do I have to say

[You're on your own now believe me]

It's not gonna happen to me

[You're on your own now believe me]

Yeah, what, woo, that's right

Here's the thing

That you would self destruct eventually

Now i'm thinkin like the mistake that i made doesn't hurt

But it's not gonna work cause its

Really much worse than I thought

I wished you were something you were not

And now this guilt is really all that I've got

Tak:

You turned your back and walk away ashamed

All you got

Empty memory and pain, nothing makes sense

You stare at the ground, like hearin' my voice inside your head when no one else is around

What do i have to say

Maybe i should do what i have to do to break free man

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 will be there when you go down

Just so you know now

You're on your own now, believe me

(drums and Mike saying YEAH, let's go)

I guess that this is where we've come to

YEAH

If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me

But I will be there when you go down

YEAH

Just so you know now

You're on your own now, believe me

I'm doin' 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

It's not gonna happen to me

You're on your own now believe me
