Lyrics
I've told a lot of lies, I call it a compromise to keep you in your seats I was so afraid to lose But the things that I did to you, you would never do to me Why do I, why do, why do, why do I do it? why do I do it? You wanna hold my hand and make a fierce, a false PROMISE And even if you said you would, forgive me I don't know if I could ever say I'm sorry I don't know if I could (you said you would) I don't know if I can I don't know if I, I (you said you would) I don't know if I can
So I look at you now, bruised and broken down About what you thought was love You tell me you wanna stay, and you wanna watch me changed But I'm scared and I tell you to fuck off Why do I, why do, why do, why do I do it? why do I do it? You wanna hold my hand and make a fierce, a false PROMISE And even if you said you would, forgive me I don't know if I could ever say I'm sorry I don't know if I could (you said you would) I don't know if I can I don't know if I, I (you said you would) I don't know if I can
Me and hardy girls we'll kill the lovers to hurt themselves They can't believe if they deserve, anything it goes And even if you say you know that I'm sorry I don't if I could ever forgive me!
I don't know if I could (you said you would) I don't know if I can I don't know if I, I (you said you would) I don't know if I can
I've told a lot of lies, And I call it a compromise to keep you (You said you would)
