Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We walked along the beach
What a moonlit night
He held my hand in his
He kissed me
He said
"I wanna spend my life with you
I want you for my wife"
Just then, I thought
[Chorus]
What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried? You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?
[Verse 2]
I took a pause, then a deep sigh
He looked right into my eyes as he said
"I know I didn't say something wrong"
I didn't have the courage to say
But then I thought
[Chorus]
What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried? You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?
[Chorus]
What about the times you hit my face?
What about the times you kept on when I said, "No more, please"
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you shamed me?
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head? Uh
What about that? What about that?
[Bridge]
Don't wanna live my life in misery
Don't tell me you did it 'cause you love me
I don't believe
I'm sick and tired of your deceptive games
Wonder where you have been
I can't live life wondering
[Verse 3]
My heart was pounding
But the time had come
To stop letting my whispering heart control me
Yeah, and telling my screaming mind what to do (Yeah)
I looked him straight in the eyes
And then I said
[Chorus]
What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried? You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?
[Chorus]
What about the times you hit my face?
What about the times you kept on when I said, "No more, please"
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you shamed me?
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head?
What about that? What about that?
[Chorus]
What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that? What about that?
What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried? You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things?
What about that? What about that?
[Chorus]
What about the times you shamed me?
What about the times you said you didn't fuck her
She only gave you head? Uh
What about that? What about that?
