I'll Stick Around

Foo Fighters · Foo Fighters [1995]

I thought I knew all it took to bother you

Every word I said was true

That you'll see

How could it be, I'm the only one who sees

Your rehearsed insanity, yeah



I still refuse all the methods you abused

It's alright if you're confused

Let me be

I've been around all the pawns you gagged and bound

They'll come back and knock you down

And I'll be free



I've taken all and I've endured

One day it all will fade, I'm sure



I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything



I had no hand in your ever-desperate plan

It returns and when it lands

Words are due

I should have known we were better off alone

I looked in and I was shown

You were too



I've taken all and I've endured

One day it all will fade, I'm sure



I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything

I don't owe you anything



I'll stick around, I'll stick around

and learn from all that came from it

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

and learn from all that came from it

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

and learn from all that came from it

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

and learn from all that came from it
