• • • • I've been a liar
Been a thief
Been a lover
Been a cheat
All my sins
need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
Oh, little one
I don't wanna
admit to somethin'
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
The truth and my lies
now are fallin'
like the rain
So let the river run
He's comin' home
with his neck scratched
to catch flack
Sweat jackets
and dress slacks
mismatched
On his breath's Jack
He's a sex addict
and she just wants
to exact revenge
and get back
It's a chess match
She's on his back
like a jet pack
She's kept track of
all his internet chats
and guess who just
happens to be movin'
on to the next
Actually, just shit
on my last chick
and she has
what my ex lacks
'Cause she loves danger
psychopath
and you don't f**k
with no man's girl
Even I know that
But she's devised
some plan to stab
him in the back
Knife in hand
says their relationship's
hangin' by a strand
So she's been on
the web lately
Says maybe she'll
be my Gwen Stacy
to spite her man
And I know she's
usin' me to try to
play him, I don't care
Hi Suzanne, but I
should'a said
bye Suzanne
After the first night
but tonight I am
I've been a liar
Been a thief
Been a lover
Been a cheat
All my sins
need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
Oh, little one
I don't wannna
admit to somethin'
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
The truth and my lies
now are fallin'
like the rain
So let the river run
One night stand
turned into
night stayin'
He was callin'
so might scram
Now we hug tight and
he found out
Now she feels
deserted and used
'cause he left
So what, he did it
first to her too
Now how am I supposed
to tell this girl
that we're through
It's hard to
find the words
I'm aloof, nervous
and Sue
don't want this to hurt
but what you deserve
is the truth
Don't take it personal
I just can't say
this in person to you
So I revert to the studio
like hole in
the wall diners
Don't have to be
reserved in a booth
I just feel like
the person who
I'm turnin' into's
irreversible
I preyed on you like
it's church at the pew
And now that I got you
I don't want you
Took advantage in
my thirst to pursue
Why do I do this
dirt that I do
Get on my soapbox
and preach
My sermon and speech
Detergent and bleach
is burnin' the wound
'Cause now with her
in the womb
We can't bring her
in this world
Shoulda knew
to use protection
'fore I bit into your
forbidden fruit, f**k
I've been a liar
Been a thief
Been a lover
Been a cheat
All my sins
need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
Oh, little one
I don't wanna
admit to somethin'
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
The truth and my lies
now are fallin'
like the rain
So let the river run
Oh, oh, oh
Watch the river run
Oh, oh, oh
We'll let the river run
Always the bridesmaid
never the bride, hey
F**k can I say
If life was a highway
the seat was an enclave
I'd be swervin'
in five lanes
Speeds at a high rate
like I'm slidin'
on ice, maybe
That's why I may
have came at
you sideways
I can't keep
my lies straight
But I made you
terminate my baby
This love triangle left
us in a wreck, tangled
What else can I say
It was fun for a while
Bet I really would'a
loved your smile
Didn't really
wanna abort
but f**k it
What's one more lie
to tell an unborn child
I've been a liar
Been a thief
Been a lover
Been a cheat
All my sins
need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
Oh, little one
I'm sorry
I don't wanna
admit to somethin'
I f**ked up
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
The truth and my lies
now are fallin'
like the rain
So let the river run
