Zola Simone - Witness

Bit my tongue, for so long
Down the blood, can’t let it run
Take the road that’s higher up
Gotta be the bigger one

Close my eyes, yeah I was blind
It’s easier to say it’s fine
Had your back all of this time
Until you put a knife in mine
​
I can’t be your witness no more
Watchin, standing by
You can’t run away from this war
Hide behind that smile
I know what you did,
Not gonna let you get away with it
I kept my hands so clean, but
I think it’s ’bout time I quit
I’ve had it
​
Playing with your matches
Try’na get inside my head
Act so innocent, but
You’re a pyromaniac
How can you just lie to me,
And call yourself a friend
I bet you’re sleeping like a baby
With my baby in your bed (shit)

Close my eyes, yeah I was blind
It’s easier to say it’s fine
Had your back all of this time
Until you put a knife in mine
​
I can’t be your witness no more
Watchin, standing by
You can’t run away from this war
Hide behind that smile
I know what you did,
Not gonna let you get away with it
I kept my hands so clean, but
I think it’s ’bout time I quit
I’ve had it
​
I’ve had it
I’ve had it, yeah
I’ve had it, yeah
​
Say what you want
Maybe I’m a villain
Think what you want
Maybe I’m a victim
But, fuck all that talk
I ain’t even kidding ya
I’m coming for blood
I’m not gonna leave a witness
