Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I hope I see you on your way down.
I hope you break every bone.
I hope it kills you on your down.
And I hope you die alone.
Pre-Chorus 1:
All of your hate, and all of your lies. Will it be worth it?
When all of your friends refuse to be alibi's, will it be worth it?
Chorus 1:
I'll see you on your way down. (3x)
Verse 2:
It's kind of sad to watch you break down.
You greedy fuck, you pissed it all away.
So who will catch you on your way down?
You've only got yourself to blame.
Pre-Chorus 2:
When all your worst fears materialize, will it be worth it?
There's nobody left who cares you're alive; was it worth it?
Chorus 2:
I'll see you on your way down. (3x)
Bridge/Break:
Way down...
Way down...
Chorus 3:
I'll see you on your way down. (3x)
