Why Don't Think Things Over ? (2/27/50)

Dynasty, I built your fantasy
Let you reign over me
Like a king in a palace
Obsession, I was your medicine
And you came after me
Like you couldn’t live without it
Like faith in the faithful
I was the loyal in your loyalty
I put my cards on your table
And I treated you like royalty
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
But you’re gonna think about them when I’m gone
Savior, I’ve always saved your deft reputation
Stuck around when you were down
Together, I held you together
I kept you from caving
But now you’re crumbling to the ground
I was the arm in your armor
I was the miss in your mistake
And you only make it harder
On yourself when you walk away
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
But you’re gonna think about them when I’m gone
Like faith in the faithful
I was the loyal in your loyalty
I put my cards on your table
And I treated you like royalty
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
But you’re gonna think about them when I’m gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don’t think about
When you think about me
But you’re gonna think about them when I’m gone
You’re gonna think about ‘em
You’re gonna think about 'em, think about 'em
When I’m gone
