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.

I saw something and I hope you saw it too

Cause I don't want to tell nobody what I saw

But the world has got to learn the truth

So it's up to you

I saw something

Oh I hope it isn't true

So let me close my eyes drift off in the night

Baby you can tell me what to do

Oh it's up to you

In the wild they gather when you bleed, oh

I'll be hiding watching on my knees, oh

Can't witness (can't witness)

Can't witness (can't witness)

Not me not me no no

I saw someone and I think that it was you

So look me in the eyes cause you've been telling lies

But I'm giving you a chance to be true

Oh it's up to you

Can you tell me what it is I see, oh

If you tell me twice

Then I'll believe her

Can't witness (can't witness)

Can't witness (can't witness)

Not me not me no no

Can't witness (can't witness)

Can't witness (can't witness)

Not me not me no no

I saw something I don't care if it's true

Just take me by the hand and tell me what's the plan

Though I'm pretty sure [?] screwed

Oh it's up to you

I'm leaving town so it's up to you

Aw yeah

I get around so it's up to you

Aw yeah

They'll never trust me so it's up to you

Aw yeah

They'll try and bust me so it's up to you

Just tell the truth

Tell them what you saw

I'm right behind you oh we're looking out

Just tell the truth

I'm right behind you best be looking out (just tell the truth)

Can't witness oh

Can't witness oh

Can't witness oh (just tell the truth)

Can't witness oh
