So your bags are all packed and you're leaving Without so much as telling me why Pardon me if I skip all the grieving I'll simply get on with my life 'Cause I know there'll come a day It'll come back on you and you'll pay But won't be me you'll answer to When the judgment arrives And your penance is due Forgiveness may come For the things that you've done For your dishonesty But it won't be me Well, it goes against my christian raising To be feeling the way that I am I should get on my knees And start praying for your absolution But I've tried and I can't After what you did to me and to us You've betrayed all my love and my trust It won't be me you'll answer to When the judgment arrives And your penance is due Forgiveness may come For the things that you've done For your dishonesty But it won't be me Now this isn't a threat or a curse Just remember you heard it here first It won't be me you'll answer to When the judgment arrives And your penance is due Forgiveness may come For the things that you've done For your dishonesty But it won't be me No, it won't be me
