The Reputation – The Truth lyrics
Under a sea, came up for air
opened my eyes and heard
"release her, release her."
A heady blur of charcoal white
still needle-filled she said
"release her, release her."
and I went home that day
she'd left by nightfall
but letting go was all I had to do.
don't want for what you cannot have
forgive or don't but just
release her, release her.
so I took stock and harbored down
wandered for years then just
released her, released her.
'cause I went home that day
she'd left by nightfall
but letting go was all I had to do.
I spat black and blood
'til all the bad in me was gone
purged of everything except the truth.
not helping me, just saving you
and you knew it.
I know it happened,
I've got pictures that prove it.
not helping me, just saving you
and you knew it.
you called me crazy and well yeah, maybe
but I know the truth .
I went home that day
she'd left by nightfall
but letting go was all I had to do.
I spilled black and blood
'til all the best in me was gone
purged of everything except the truth.
