Well, I don't really care if you're with him And you don't have to tell me just where you've been You know it doesn't matter Because I'll get the better Of you no matter what you do or say 'Cause life begins whenever you go away Well, you took me by the hand and led me to a noose And I don't want to hear what's your excuse It's not that you're forgiven It's just that I'll keep on living My life no matter what you do or say 'Cause life begins whenever you go away It doesn't make a difference What someone does to me Because I choose the life I live And who I want to be you see Life begins whenever you go away
