Witness
BUTLER Will Lyrics

I saw something and I hope you saw it too
I witnessed something and I'm hoping you also witnessed it.

'Cause I don't want to tell nobody what I saw
I don't want to be the one to tell people about what I saw.

But the world has got to learn the truth
However, the world has to know about the truth.

So it's up to you
I leave it to you to decide whether to speak the truth or not.

I saw something
I witnessed something.

Oh I hope it isn't true
I hope it's not true, what I saw.

So let me close my eyes drift off in the night
I want to forget about what I saw and go to sleep.

Baby you can tell me what to do
You can be the one to decide what I should do.

In the wild they gather when you bleed, oh
People get attracted to when you're in trouble.

I'll be hiding watching on my knees, oh
I'll hide and watch what unfolds from a safe distance.

Can't witness (can't witness)
I can't bring myself to witness this.

Oh, can't witness (can't witness)
I absolutely can't bear to witness this.

Ooh ooh, can't witness (can't witness)
It's just too painful for me to witness this.

Not me, not me, no no
I refuse to be witness to this.

I saw someone and I think that it was you
I believe I saw you doing something.

So look me in the eyes 'cause you've been telling lies
Look at me and come clean because I know you're lying.

But I'm giving you a chance to be true
I'm willing to give you a chance to tell the truth.

Can you tell me what it is I see, oh
Can you explain to me the thing I witnessed?

If you tell me twice
If you repeat it, I'll believe it.

Then I'll believe her
Then I'll believe that what she did was true.

Can't witness (can't witness)
I can't bear to see what's happening.

Oh, can't witness (can't witness)
It's just too painful for me to witness what's happening.

Ooh ooh, can't witness (can't witness)
I can't bring myself to witness any of this.

Not me, not me, no no
I can't be the one to witness this.

I saw something I don't care if it's true
I saw something, and I don't really care whether it's true or not.

Just take me by the hand and tell me what's the plan
Just guide me and explain what we need to do.

Though I'm pretty sure both of us are screwed
Even if we do something, we're not sure if it'll make things better.

I'm leaving town so it's up to you
I'm leaving, and what happens next is up to you.

Aw yeah
Yes, that's right.

I get around so it's up to you
I travel a lot, so you'll have to take responsibility.

They'll never trust me so it's up to you
People won't trust me, so you'd better handle this.

They'll try and bust me so it's up to you
They'll try to frame me, so you'll have to handle things.

Just tell the truth
Just speak the truth.

Tell them what you saw
Tell them exactly what you witnessed.

(911)
This is an emergency.

I'm right behind you oh we're looking out, just tell the truth
I'm here with you, and we will take responsibility for telling the truth.

I'm right behind you best be looking out (Just tell the truth)
You can count on me to support you, but we have to be cautious.

Can't witness oh
I can't stand to see this unfold.

Can't witness oh
I just can't bear to witness it.

Can't witness oh (Just tell the truth)
I can't bear to see this, but we have to be honest and speak the truth.

Can't witness ooh
I really can't bear to witness this at all.
