I still can't change your ways
You say you need me the most
Only 'cause I'm here with you
Some things aren't adding up 'cause your actions stay the same
Why won't you tell me the truth?
If I knew from day one that you wouldn't ride
You made it seem like you were down, now you're switching sides on me
I know everything, you don't gotta hide from me (oh)
I can see it all looking in your eyes
Tell me what I wanna hear but it's still a lie to me
Never knew you'd be the one to live a double life on me (oh)
All I feel is rain
When you creep out in the night
And you cause me so much pain
But I still stand by your side
I cannot feel a thing
Sometimes I medicate
So I don't feel the pain
When you creep out in the night
And you cause me so much pain (look, uh)
Check
So many good girls but I tend to love on the trouble type
But I draw a line if I'm thinkin' you live a double life
Devil on your left side shoulder, a angel on the right
We right in the middle of arguin' at the party
Who started it? Hit the gas
You talkative, 'bout to crash
Who parking it? Gettin' mad
Is you barking at me for sayin' you heartless?
Tryin' my hardest to get in harmony
But we harboring feelings, so, hovering clouds, feelin' down
If I knew from day one that you wouldn't ride
They say the pain hits you by surprise
You made it seem like you were down, now you're switching sides on me
I know everything, you don't gotta hide from me (oh)
I can see it all looking in your eyes
Tell me what I wanna hear but it's still a lie to me
Never knew you'd be the one to live a double life on me (oh)
All I feel is rain
When you creep out in the night
And you cause me so much pain
But I still stand by your side
I cannot feel a thing
Sometimes I medicate
So I don't feel the pain
When you creep out in the night
And you cause me so much pain
All I feel is rain
I need to know, oh-oh (I need to know)
I couldn't believe it, couldn't believe you, no (I need to know)
Sometimes I medicate
I don't feel a thing
Look at what you made me do
So tell me you were never there for me, mm, mm

Although I got love for you
Despite having feelings of love for you
I still can't change your ways
I am unable to influence or alter your behavior
You say you need me the most
You claim that you rely on me the most
Only 'cause I'm here with you
Only because I am physically present with you
Some things aren't adding up 'cause your actions stay the same
I am noticing inconsistencies because your actions remain unchanged
Why won't you tell me the truth?
Why are you avoiding telling me the truth?
If I knew from day one that you wouldn't ride
If I had known from the beginning that you wouldn't be loyal
They say the pain hits you by surprise
It is said that pain often catches you off guard
You made it seem like you were down, now you're switching sides on me

I know everything, you don't gotta hide from me (oh)
I am aware of everything, there is no need for you to conceal anything from me

You may say what I desire to hear, but it is still a falsehood to me
Never knew you'd be the one to live a double life on me (oh)
I never anticipated that you would lead a deceitful existence in relation to me
All I feel is rain
I only experience sorrow and despair
When you creep out in the night
When you act in secret during the nighttime
And you cause me so much pain
And you inflict upon me immense emotional suffering
But I still stand by your side
Nevertheless, I continue to support and remain loyal to you
I cannot feel a thing

Sometimes I medicate
Occasionally, I use substances to alleviate my pain
So I don't feel the pain
In order not to experience the anguish

So many good girls but I tend to love on the trouble type

Look at the actions I have been compelled to take because of you
So tell me you were never there for me, mm, mm
Therefore, confess that you were never present and supportive in my life

Sometimes I medicate so I don't feel the rain
When you creep out in the night
