Bed Of Lies
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

Do you ever think of me when you lie?
Do you ever consider the consequences of your actions when you deceive me?

Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
Your deceitful actions create a world of lies around you, which you sleep in every night.

And I knew better than to look in your eyes
I learned not to trust your eyes, which always pretended to care about me.

They only pretend you would be mine
Your eyes would pretend to love me, but it was all just a pretense and hollow promises.

And oh how you made me believe
You skillfully created lies that had me completely fooled.

You had me caught in every web that you weaved
Your manipulations and lies caught me in every trap that you set for me.

You could never make eye contact
You couldn't bring yourself to make meaningful eye contact with me.

Everything you got was based off of my contacts
You used my connections and my influence to get everything you needed.

You a fraud, but I'ma remain icon-stat
You are a fake person, but I will continue to be an iconic figure.

Balenciagas on my boots with the python strap
I have expensive designer shoes with snake skin on them.

You was caught up in the rush, and you was caught up in the thrill of it
You got caught up in the excitement of our relationship and became addicted to it.

You was with me way before I hit a quarter mill' in it
You were with me even before I became successful and wealthy.

Put you in the crib and you ain't never pay a bill in it
I gave you a place to live, and you never paid any bills.

I was killin' it, man, you got me poppin' pills in it
I was doing so well in my career until you came along and made me start taking pills.

I just figured if you saw me, if you looked in my eyes
I thought if you looked at me or my eyes, you would remember the good times we had.

You'd remember our connection and be freed from the lies
Our bond was so strong that you would've been reminded of it and break free from the web of lies you trapped yourself in.

I just figured I was something that you couldn't replace
I thought I was irreplaceable and you would always remember our love.

But there was just a blank stare and I couldn't relate
But instead, you looked at me blankly, and I couldn't understand or connect with you.

I just couldn't understand and I couldn't defend
I couldn't comprehend how the person I loved and defended so much could turn out to be so cruel and deceitful.

What we had, what we shared, and I couldn't pretend
I couldn't pretend that our love wasn't real and that we didn't share something beautiful together.

So does she know I've been in that bed before?
I wonder if the person you're with now knows that we were together before they came along?

A thousand count, and not a single thread of truth
There isn't a shred of truth in anything you ever told me.

If I was just another girl
If I were just another person you lied to, it wouldn't bother me as much.

Then I'm ashamed to say that I'm not over you
But the fact is, I'm not over you, and the way you hurt me still haunts me.

There's one thing I need to know
There's one question I need to ask you.

So call me when you're not so busy just thinking of yourself
So call me when you're done only thinking of yourself and ignoring how you hurt me.

But do you ever think of me when you lie?
I still hope that you remember our love and the devastation you caused when you lie.
