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.
