- I'm Not The One Lyrics / with translationsWelcome to obsession
It makes the world go round
We're made up by the people we surround
So!
We live and die for shit we don't need
Well maybe, it's the price of envy
Through these eyes I look out for me
But everyone fades in ways who don't see
Nothing's gonna change
Why!
We're going down in flames
So!
I'm not the one
Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me
What is the solution
We don't already know
There's no telling how far this could go
No!
You do your time punch in it's the same
Cause you're just
Part of this game
There's nothing you can do to save yourself
You leave your life in the hands of someone else
They'll never let it go
Why!
It's the only way you know
Know!
I'm not the one
Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me
When did we begin
To let ourselves give in
How'd it come to this
Miserable bliss
Just take the rest of
Just take the best of me
Just take the rest of
Just take the best of me
You take the rest of me
Just take the best of me
You take the rest of me
Just take the best
Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me
It makes the world go round
We're made up by the people we surround
So!
We live and die for shit we don't need
Well maybe, it's the price of envy
Through these eyes I look out for me
But everyone fades in ways who don't see
Nothing's gonna change
Why!
We're going down in flames
So!
I'm not the one
Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me
What is the solution
We don't already know
There's no telling how far this could go
No!
You do your time punch in it's the same

Just take the rest of
Just take the best of me
You take the rest of me
Just take the best of me
You take the rest of me
Just take the best
Don't wait for me

While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end

The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me
