Lyrics 
Edit
I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore Ever throwing at his home Two glass houses, twenty stones Fourteen yellow, six are blue Could it be worse?.. Quite doubtful. I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore 1-2 1-2-3-4. Two steps forward, three steps back Without warning, heart attack He fell asleep in the snow Never woke up, died alone I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore 1-2 1-2-3-4. Please don't dress in black When you're at his wake Don't go there to mourn But to celebrate Please don't dress in black When you're at his wake Don't go there to mourn But to celebrate I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore 1-2 1-2-3-4. I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore I don't wanna be, wanna be there I don't wanna be me anymore
