The helpless feeling of watching a loved one crash and not wanting to see the result... I learned sax for this one... might be about the USA and our next few years...

Lyrics

I don't want to be, I don't want to be
I don't want to be there
When it all comes crashing down

I don't want to see, I don't want to see
I don't want to see you
Sleeping on the cold, hard ground

I don't want to say, I don't want to say
I don't want to say I told you so
I won't get satisfaction when you fall

You don't want to hear, you don't want to hear
You don't want to hear me
I can't change the truth you think you know

You'll always be
A sweet memory
Now you're a stranger to me

You say that you need, you say that you need
You say you need a strong man
To keep your family safe and sound

All you've ever known, all you've ever known
All you know is weakness
I won't be there to save you when you drown

You'll always be
A sweet memory
Now you're a stranger to me
