Witness

So tonight I’ll testify

As an alibi to one who did me wrong

Just the same old song and dance

You’ve heard before

Though I’d like to stare you down

And throw my accusations ‘round

Your only crime would be

That you loved her more than me

And that’s all right

There’s no way that I can say

That we would’ve ended up this way

If I’d taken time to let you know

Down the line

But if we have to lay the blame

I can tell you I was just the same

It was my fault for letting go

So I’ll give you the key

And I will set you free

To live your life

In a place far away from me

My only wish will be

That she’ll make you happy

As you move on

To a place far away from me

Now the evidence is clear

The old chains that kept you here

Are rusted through

There’s nothing I can do

To make you stay

So I’ll sit here with my guilt

Behind iron bars I built

To keep you in

But it’s me who’s locked within

From the very start

There’s no way that I can say

That we would’ve ended up this way

If I’d taken time to let you know

Down the line

But if you want to lay the blame

I can tell you I was just the same

I should have never let you go

But I’ll give you the key

And I will set you free

To live your life

In a place far away from me

My only wish will be

That she’ll make you happy

As you move on

To a place far away from me

For every time I cried, I laughed a little

For every time it hurt, I smiled a little

Even when things were bad, I was never really sad

Now I’ll say goodbye to the love that I had
