Lie About You

Could you please just put the coffee down? It's two in the mornin' and I'm already ready for bed Went to turn the TV down Hand me the remote, but both of the batteries were dead Couldn't make decisions, thought I needed your permission So I don't drink black coffee now Don't know how I did, it taste so bitter back then And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it Even your momma sees it, maybe you should believe it And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all So why do I, why do I, why do I lie? Lie about you Why do I, why do I, why do I try? Pretending I'm cool when I'm not 'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see I tried to deny you were hurting me I know I shouldn't so why do I lie? Lie about you Should've seen that all the flags were red But in your defence, I went and painted them white For a minute never second-guessed When you put me down so you could pull up your pride Guess that I learned that I'm worth somethin' Bet you never saw that comin' And I hope someday you'll understand Your problems with me were always your own design 'Cause if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it Even your momma sees it, maybe you should believe it And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all (at all) So why do I, why do I, why do I lie? Lie about you Why do I, why do I, why do I try? Pretending I'm cool when I'm not 'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see I tried to deny you were hurting me I know I shouldn't so why do I lie? Lie about you I know I'm dumb to think that you regret a thing But I wish you did I tried to be a puppet, wear your golden ring Couldn't make it fit And I played along 'til I cut the strings I had to relearn almost everything 'Bout who I was, who I wanna be, who you never could (So why do I?) so why do I, why do I, why do I lie? Lie about you (Why do I try?) why do I, why do I, why do I try? Pretending I'm cool when I'm not 'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see I tried to deny you were hurting me I know I shouldn't so why do I lie? (Why do I lie?)
