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
