lyrics

You choose your words so carefully
I can tell you’re well-rehearsed

It sounds so strange when you say my name
And that ain’t my lipstick on your shirt

Today I found your wedding ring
In the pocket of your pants

If she knew you the way i do
You wouldn’t stand a chance

You lie, lie, lie
A little more each day
Tell me why, why, why
I should believe a word you say

I thought i made you happy
But that was in the past

She’s one of many that you've loved
God knows she’ll be the last

You lie, lie, lie
A little more each day
Tell me why, why, why
I should believe a word you say

The bible says thou shalt not kill
Two wrongs don’t make it right

But what you've done I can’t forgive
So I'll pray for you tonight

I know she’s going to miss you
Don’t think I’ll feel the same

Where you’re going it won’t matter.
You've got yourself to blame

I'm gonna lie, lie, lie
When the sheriff comes around
They'll try, try, try
No evidence to be found

You're gonna lie lie lie
Six feet under ground
I won’t cry, cry. cry
When they lay your body down
