Allen Tate - I Don't Think About It

Copied!

{Verse}
At the moment
I don't know anything
I would be there
But I didn’t know what to bring

As I was
Walking the underworld
I made a plan
But it wasn't any good

{Chorus}
If you breathe
If you cry
If you're hurt
Or you’re fine
If there's hope
Or I'm right
You're really just killing time

I don't think about it
I don't think about it

{Verse}
At the moment
I can't do anything
Lost my footing
And next my voice to sing
As I was
Wandering the woods
Had things to say
That I never thought I should

{Chorus}
If you breathe
If you cry
If you're hurt
Or you’re fine
If there’s hope
Or I'm right
You’re really just killing time

I don't think about it
I don't think about it
I don't think about it
