Lyrics

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 how 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 how 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)
