Will Butler - Witness lyrics

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 and
Drift off in the night
Baby, you can tell me what to do
Oh, it's up to you oh, it's up to you
Oh, it's up to you oh, it's up to you
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 (Witness)
Can't witness (Witness)
Can't witness (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 oh, it's up to you
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, oh

Can't witness (Witness)
Can't witness (Witness)
Can't witness (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 we're
Both of us screwed oh, it's up to you
Oh, it's up to you oh, it's up to you
Oh, it's up to you oh, it's up to you

I'm leaving town so it's up to you, oh yeah
I get around so it's up to you, oh yeah
They'll never trust me so it's up to you
Oh yeah
They'll try and bust me so it's up to you
Just tell the truth tell them what you saw
We're not above the law
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
Can't witness (Just tell the truth)
Can't witness (Just tell the truth)
Can't witness
