Will Butler - Witness lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] In the wild they gather when you bleed, oh I'll be hiding, watching on my knees, oh [Chorus] Can't witness (Witness!) Can't witness (Witness!) Can't witness (Witness!) Not me, not me, no, no [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] Can you tell me what it is I see, oh? If you tell me twice then I'll believe, oh [Chorus] x2 Can't witness (Witness!) Can't witness (Witness!) Can't witness (Witness!) Not me, not me, no, no [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
