How can I believe you

When you’ve lied so well before

And how should I receive you

When I saw you out the door

I know I’m not innocent

But I do know you’re to blame

I sacrificed my queen

Can’t take another scheme

I don’t see no beau

Just rain

 

Lucky for you

I was primed to forget and pretend

That the past wasn’t true

Now fooled again

Looking back I can see that the masks

Were so clearly see through

So where does that leave me?

With a disdain for love and another lesson learned

But at what cost?

So for my last commitment I swear

I’m giving up on it all

 

How can I believe you

When you’ve lied so well before

And how should I receive you

When I saw you out the door

I know I’m not innocent

But I do know you’re to blame

I sacrificed my queen

Can’t take another scheme

I don’t see no beau

Just rain

 

I know I’m not perfect

In fact it’s true that we all use each other sometimes

But dishonesty is not something I give and I’m fed up

With living with lies

 

So there you have it

You can call me a woman scorned

Yeah I’m one of the rest

You weren’t the first

No you weren’t the first to break my heart

But you sure were the best

So what do I do now?

Should I keep moving on and fake like I don’t know the truth

Should I lie

And pretend that I don’t think that every last lover’s a fool

 

How can I believe you

When you’ve lied so well before

And how should I receive you

When I saw you out the door

I know I’m not innocent

But I do know you’re to blame

I sacrificed my queen

Can’t take another scheme

I don’t see no beau

Just rain
