Counting on Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why can't you ever back down?
Why can't you just shut your face?
Oh God, the feelings I feel
Would get me thrown in a cage

You're the one who's always screaming at me
I'm the one that keeps your life so care free
What the fuck more do you want me to be?
Why must you do this to me?

Run away!
I can't see!
Lead the way!
Make them pay!

[Chorus]
Counting on me
Always hoping I'll be
There for all of your problems
In turn, you're never there for me

You sucked the life out of me
You hate everything you see
I can't take this anymore
I always stay when I should leave

See Korn Live

Get tickets as low as $40

[Verse 2]
You see the pain in my face
While you keep putting me down
Inside the rage starts to build
You push me I won't go down

You're the one who's always screaming at me
I'm the one that keeps your life so carefree
What the fuck more do you want me to be?
Why must you do this to me?

Run away!
I can't see!
Lead the way!
Make them pay!

[Chorus]
Counting on me
Always hoping I'll be
There for all of your problems
In turn, you're never there for me

You sucked the life out of me
You hate everything you see
I can't take this anymore
I always stay when I should leave

[Bridge]
Could it really be the day, today?
Could this really make the problems go away?
I'm gonna hurt just not this time

Right now, I'm taking all I can now
Right now, you've torn us all apart
Right now, there is nothing you can do to stop me

Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right! (Now!)
Right!

[Chorus]
Counting on me
Always hoping I'll be
There for all of your problems
In turn, you're never there for me

You sucked the life out of me
You hate everything you see
I can't take this anymore
I always stay when I should leave

Counting on me
Always hoping I'll be
There for all of your problems
In turn, you're never there for me

You sucked the life out of me
You hate everything you see
I can't take this anymore
I always stay when I should leave

About

“Counting on Me” is the third track off of Korn’s sixth album, Take a Look in the Mirror.

The protagonist of the song reaches out to someone else who can’t deal with his/her own problems and is asking for help: still, he/she doesn’t show the same courtesy, leaving the main character stressed out and thinking about lashing out for everything he/she has been put through.
