It Won't Be Me Lyrics - Alecia Nugent

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 judgement 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 judgement 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 judgement 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
