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 released

Take care to tell it just as it was

Take care to tell on me for the cause

I know I need to feel released

Take care to bury all that you can

Take care to leave a trace of a man.

I will show restraint

Just like we said we should

You think I'll apologize for things I left behind

But you got it wrong

And I'm as sane as I ever was.

You talk 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.

I know I need to feel released

Take care to tell it just as it was

Take care to tell on me for the cause

I know I need to feel released

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.

I know I need to feel released

Take care to tell it just as it was

Take care to tell on me for the cause

I know I need to feel released

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.
