YOU LIED

We were the lovebirds of Tennessee

But now you fucking hate me

Out on the road now, I’m living my dreams

But I miss you like crazy

Living the coast life, I’m finding my ceiling

Learning the hard way that hearts break easy

Couldn’t have guessed everything that you needed

But I didn’t think you’d leave me

You said that you would never set this house on fire

But you lied, you lied, you lied

You can strike another match and batt your eyelids

But I’ll cry, I’ll cry, I’ll cry

As you’re burning it down

I’m not leaving this house

Cause I tried, I tried, I tried

And you lied, you lied, you lied

I’m not trying to make you into something or not

I wish we had that in common

There’s different ways of coping with loss

At least my way is honest

So trample over me with your friends

Just be careful who the shoe fits

You run away from the fire you lit

But I haven’t forgotten

You said that you would never set this house on fire

But you lied, you lied, you lied

You can strike another match and batt your eyelids

But I’ll cry, I’ll cry, I’ll cry

As you’re burning it down

I’m not leaving this house

Cause I tried, I tried, I tried

And you lied, you lied, you lied

When you said it would be us forever (you lied)

When you said that we could make it better (you lied)

When you said you understood my letter

(you lied, you lied, you lied, you lied, you lied)

When you said it would be us forever (you lied)

When you said that we could make it better (you lied)

When you said you understood my letter

(you lied, you lied, you lied, you lied, you lied)

You said that you would never set this house on fire

But you lied, you lied, you lied

You can strike another match and batt your eyelids

But I’ll cry, I’ll cry, I’ll cry

As you’re burning it down

I’m not leaving this house

Cause I tried, I tried, I tried

And you lied, you lied, you lied
