I gave up on time
just like you said
you would
There are tiny cracks
of light underneath me
and you say
I got it wrong
But I tried hard
to uncover them
I have somehow got
away with everything
anything you ever did
was strictly by design
but you got it wrong
And I'll go
anywhere but there
And you had best believe
that you cannot build
what I don't need
and I know
I need to feel relief
And I know
you'll never fold
but I believe nothing
that I'm told
and I know
I need to feel relief
I know I need
to feel relief
Take care to tell it
just as it was
Take care to tell on me
for the cause
and I know I need
to feel relief
Take care to bury
all that you can
Take care to leave
a trace of a man
We will show restraint
just like we said
we should
You think I'll apologise
for things I left behind
but you got it wrong
And I'm as sane
as I ever was
You took far too much
for someone so unkind
I will wipe the salt
off of my skin
and I'll admit
that I got it wrong
And there is grey
between the lines
And you had best believe
that you cannot build
what I don't need
And I know I need
to feel relief
And I know
you'll never fold
but I believe nothing
that I'm told
And I know I need
to feel relief
And I know I need
to feel relief
Take care to tell it
just as it was
Take care to tell on me
for the cause
and I know I need
to feel relief
Take care to bury
all that you can
Take care to leave
a trace of a man
I know, I know
I know, I know
I know, I know
I know, I know
And I know I need
to feel relief
Take care to tell it
just as it was
Take care to tell on me
for the cause
and I know I need
to feel relief
Take care to bury
all that you can
Take care to leave
a trace of a man
I know, I know
I know, I know
I know I need
