Are you gonna just gonna stand there
Are you just gonna stand there and watch me cry
Are you just gonna stand there and watch me crash
Are you just gonna stand there and watch me fall
Are you?
Or are you gonna stand there and be a man
Try to do what you can
To salvage what is left of this catastrophe
Before it becomes the next fading memory
Are you
But you most likely won’t
You’ll just stand there and watch me cry
You’ll just stand there and watch me crash
You’ll just stand there and watch me fall
And make me realize this wasn’t worth it at all
