Lyrics

Lady Elect

[Verse 1]

Goodbye to all the ones

Who left you to yourself

To be invisible

To seem impossible

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't want to know

Don't want to know

Don't want to know

[Chorus]

Leave it to yourself

To find it somewhere else

Safe outside of time

Martyr of a kind

Don't want to know

Don't want to know

[Verse 2]

They asked me why you died

I knew the reason why

Instead I gave a lie

Just came to say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't want to know

Don't want to know

Don't want to know

[Chorus]

Leave it to yourself

To find it somewhere else

Safe outside of time

Martyr of a kind
