"Leave a Trace"

"Leave a Trace"
by Chvrches

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

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

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
