[Verse 1]

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 try 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I will show restraint

Just like we said we should

You think I'll apologise 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know I need
