Sum 41 & Ludacris
“I’m Not The One” talks about the band’s experience in the Congo in which a civil war was taking place. The song’s themes deal with anarchy in the world, how it’s every man for themselves, and how we all had this coming to us.
[Verse 1]
I walk into obsession, makes the world go round
We're made up by the people we surround
So we live in times with shit we don't need
Well, maybe it's the price of envy
[Pre-Chorus]
With these eyes, I look out for me
But everyone fades in ways we 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
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 2]
What is the solution, we already know
There's no telling how far this could go
No! You're near your time, but you just don't see
'Cause you're just part of this game
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing you can do to save yourself
You leave your life in the hands of someone else
You'll never let it go, why? It's the only way you know, know!
I'm not the one, don't wait for me
[Chorus]
'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
[Post-Chorus]
When did we begin to let ourselves give in
How'd it come to this miserable bliss
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Just take the rest of, just use the best of me
Just take the rest of, just use 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
[Chorus]
'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
