Lies
Emma Blackery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up through the soil
'Cause you've been dead to me for a long while
Well, you can't stand
He's with me now
Don't think I can't see it creepin' around
You said it to me
You said you wouldn't cheat anymore
You lied
Though is it me
Who thinks all women are all out to deceive
You only want him back
Because he's in love with me, yeah
You can play your songs
All that you want
'Cause you're in the past
Where you belong
It used to be (it used to be)
You, he and I
Well, how does it feel to know
He doesn't want you anymore?
You said it to me
You said it the last time
You said you wouldn't cheat anymore
You lied,
Though is it me
Who thinks all women are all out to deceive
You only want him back
Because he's in love with me
You lied!
You lied!
You lied!
You lied!
You lied!
You lied!
You lied!
You lied!
You said it to me
You said it the last time
You said you wouldn't cheat anymore
You lied
You said it to me
You said it the last time
You said you wouldn't cheat anymore
You lied
Though is it me
Who thinks all women are all out to deceive
You only want him back
Because he's in love with me!
