Lyrics by：2017 Billboard Masters

Composed by：2017 Billboard Masters

I've been a liar

Been a thief

Been a lover been a cheat

All my sins need holy water

Feel it washing over me

Well little one

I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies

Now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

He's comin' home with his neck scratched

To catch flack

Sweat jackets and dress slacks

Mismatched

On his breath's Jack

He's a sex addict

And she just wants to exact revenge

And get back

It's a chess match

She's on his back like a jet-pack

She's kept track of all his Internet chats

And guess who just happens to be movin'

On to the next

Actually just s**t on my last chick

And she has what my ex lacks

'Cause she loves danger

Psychopath

And you don't f**k with no man's girl

Even I know that

But she's devised some plan to stab

Him in the back

Knife in hand

Says their relationship's hangin' by a strand

So she's been on the web lately

Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy

To spite her man

And I know she's using me to try to play him

I don't care

Hi Suzanne but I shoulda said bye Suzanne

After the first night

But tonight I am

I've been a liar been a thief

Been a lover been a cheat

All my sins need holy water

Feel it washing over me

Well little one

I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies

Now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

One-night stand turned a two-night stand

It was come sunlight scram

Now we hug tight and

He found out now she feels deserted and used

'Cause he left so what

He did it first to her too

Now how am I supposed to tell this girl

That we're through

It's hard to find the words

I'm aloof nervous and Sue

Don't want this to hurt

But what you deserve is the truth

Don't take it personal

I just can't say this in person to you

So I revert to the studio

Like hole-in-the-wall diners

Don't have to be reserved in a booth

I just feel like the person who I'm turning into's

Irreversible

I preyed on you like it's church at the pew

And now that I got you I don't want you

Took advantage in my thirst to pursue

Why do I do this dirt that I do

Get on my soapbox and preach

My sermon and speech

Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound

'Cause now with her in the womb

We can't bring her in this world

Shoulda knew

To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit

I've been a liar been a thief

Been a lover been a cheat

All my sins need holy water

Feel it washing over me

Well little one

I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies

Now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

My name's ooh my name's ooh

River ooh what river run

Call me ooh call me ooh

River ooh we'll let the river run

Always the bridesmaid

Never the bride hey

F**k can I say

If life was a highway

And deceit was an enclave

I'd be swerving in five lanes

Speeds at a high rate

Like I'm slidin' on ice maybe

That's why I may have came at you sideways

I can't keep my lies straight

But I made you terminate my baby

This love triangle left us in a wreck tangled

What else can I say

It was fun for a while

Bet I really woulda loved your smile

Didn't really wanna abort

But f**k it

What's one more lie

To tell our unborn child

I've been a liar been a thief

Been a lover been a cheat

All my sins need holy water

Feel it washing over me

Well little one

I'm sorry

I don't want to admit to something

I f**ked up

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies

Now are falling like the rain

So let the river run run
