Lyrics
Well, I'm still getting over the very first time That I caught you staring at me through your dilated eyes While the room was turning dark, but your confidence is high I never expected to see you dead at night
When I came out of the green room, then sat down to smoke You pulled out a pre-roll from inside of your coat Asked, "Would I join you? Do you have a light? If I bring the fire, do you have the fight?"
Hit me with your lies, hit me with those sweet little eyes Leave me black and blue, keep me up all through the night I'm just waiting for you to see I'm the dirty answer, I'm the dirty key
Well, then you took me by the hand as you made your way upstairs Now I'm pushing my way past anyone that cares And I cannot describe the way I feel inside The urge to say, "I love you", but you would know that's a lie
Told you I'd seen you around here before You said I must be dreaming, so I'll dream you some more That's when you turned, started walking away Well, I'm sorry, my dear, but what should I say for you to
Hit me with your lies, hit me with those sweet goodbyes Beat me black and blue, keep me up all through the night I'm just waiting for you to see I'm the dirty answer, I'm the dirty key
Hit me with those eyes, hit me with those sweet little eyes Keep me black and blue, beat me up all through the night I'm just waiting for you to see I'm the dirty answer
(I'm the dirty key) and now I'm sitting on the floor at the end of your bed With my head on my knees and my hands on my head And my heart on my sleeve, now I'm asking myself "Yeah, you know you love her, is she worth the stress?"
Well, the truth is that I don't care, no, I don't mind 'Cause all I wanna hear is your dirty white lies So tell me that you love me, tell me that you're mine Tell me that you care, we'll keep this alive
And now you're sitting on the floor at the end of your bed You got your head on your knees and your hands on your head You put your heart on your sleeve, you're telling yourself "Know you love me, darling, am I worth the stress?"

Basht. →Well, the truth is I don't care, the truth is I don't mind All I really wanna hear is your dirty white lies Tell you that I love you, gaslight up your mind And pretend that I care to keep it alive
Hit me with your lies, hit me with those sweet little eyes Beat me black and blue, keep me up all through the night I'm just waiting for you to see I'm the dirty answer, I'm the dirty key
