I've been a liar
been a thief, been a lover
been a cheat all my sins
need holy water
feel it washing over me
Oh little one
I don't want to admit
to something
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
Truth and my lies
right now
are falling like the rain
so let the river run
He's coming home
with his neck scratched
to catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress
slacks, mismatch
on his breath's Jack
he's a s*x 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 moving on
to the next?
Actually just s**t 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 the relationship's
hanging 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 using
me to try to play him
I don't care Hi Susanne
but I shoulda said Bye
Susanne 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 washing over me
Oh little one
I don't want to admit
to something
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
Truth and my lies
right now
are falling like the rain
so let the river run
One-night stand
turned into night staying
he was calling
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, ensued
dont want us 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 turning into's
irreversible I preyed on
you like it's church in
the pew 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 burning
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 washing over me
Oh little one
I don't want to admit
to something
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
Truth and my lies
right now
are falling like the rain
so let the river run
My name's
My name's
Denver
River run
call me
call me
River
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 swerving in five lanes
Speeds at a high rate
like I'm sliding on ice
maybe that's why I may
have came at you
sideways I can't keep
my lies straight
What 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 woulda 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 washing over me
Oh little one
I don't want to admit
to something
if all it's gonna
cause is pain
Truth and my lies
right now
are falling like the rain
so let the river run
