Lies

Lyrics

Intro [“I’ll Get By”]
I’m just a reason for your lies
I can’t please you, I’ll release you
Don’t you worry, I’ll get by
You don’t want me, You don’t need me
I’m just a reason for your lies

Verse 1
I find it necessary to share the pain I carried
Deep inside of me so long it ate me hollow
I cared too much about you; I couldn’t live without you
…or so I thought, until that day I had you followed

Chorus
LIES! No more of your lies
I was so surprised by all your lies

Verse 2
It’s such a nasty business—this thing of hers and his. Just…
What were you thinking when you tread on my emotions?
I’ll take you to the cleaners for every time you’ve seen her
I’ll make you count the cost for losing my devotion

Bridge
What Mama told me ‘bout the boys made me just say, “No! It couldn’t be that bad”
But, boy you showed me how by what you’re doing now
…and all these itty pitiful lies

Keep playing

Chorus

Verse 3
I find it tough accepting that all I’d been expecting
For you to be to me was more than you could handle
I could be understanding were it not for your demanding
Insults on my intelligence about this scandal
It’s best we now dissolve it
The problem, you could solve it
But, asking for apologies is self-defeating
You know, I’ve learned a lesson
You’ve got her with my blessing
You’ve got the looks, but we know beauty’s all so fleeting

Chorus
