Witness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're sorry now
And you'll change some how--
And I am what you need to get out, but--
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
Cause I'm crawling back
I'm searchin the right track--
I'm standin--at last I'm sure
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh--witness
No, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh--witness
Jailbird chained to walk
How you used to--talk, talk, talk--
But the melody--none at all my love--
And I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a witness
I don't wanna be
No I don't...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...witness--witness--
Witness--witness--
