CHVRCHES – Leave A Trace lyrics
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And you had best believe
That you cannot build what I don't need
And I know I need to feel relief
And you know you'll never fold
But I believe nothing that I'm told
And I know I need to feel relief

[Chorus]
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, oh oh oh
I need to feel released
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man

(You know I need to feel released)
(You know I need to feel released)

[Verse 2]
I will show restraint
Just like we said we should
You think I'll apologize 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Oooh I need to feel released
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
Take care to tell it just as it was
Take care to tell on me for the cause
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
Take care to tell it just as it was
Take care to tell on me for the cause
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
(Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh)
[Chorus]
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
Oooh I need to feel released
Take care to bury all that you can
Take care to leave a trace of a man
