I Will Not Follow You Down Lyrics by Benmont Tench

The Melancholy Season

0

[Verse 1]
\nLove is blind, love is senseless
\nLove's a many splintered thing
\nBreaks apart, falls to pieces
\nSure as winter follows spring
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nWell, you don't own me
\nAnd I don't owe a thing
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd I will not follow you down
\nI will let your footsteps fade
\nI will not follow you down
\nSave your tears, you're gonna need them
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nAll your pain, all your sorrow
\nAll your deathless tragedy
\nAll is vain, all is hollow
\nAll is empty breath to me
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nFor I have seen you
\nAnd I will not be moved
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd I will not follow you down
\nGuard your bitter curses closely
\nI will not follow you down
\nSave 'em for the path you've chosen
\n
\n[Instrumental Break]
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nThe ground you're treadin'
\nIs for the dead and gone
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd I will not follow you down
\nI will let your footsteps fade
\nI will not follow you down
\nSave your tears, you're gonna need them
\nI will not follow you down
\nFor all the world in love or money
\nI will not follow you down
\nHell is what you make it, honey\n\n
