Do you ever think of me when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies? And I knew better than to look in your eyes? They only pretend you will be mine? And you know how you made me believe? You had me caught in every web that you weave? But do you ever think of me when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies? You could never make eye contact? Everything you got was based off of my contacts? You a fraud, but I'mma remain icon-stat? Balenciaga's on my boots with the python strap? You was caught up in the rush, and you was caught up in the thrill of it? You was with me way before I hit a quarter mil' in it? Put you in the crib and you never pay a bill in it? I was killin' it, man you got me poppin' pills in it? I told Baby hit you, I said this dude buggin'? Cause I was doing it for us, I told em f*ck the public? Couldn't believe that I was home alone contemplating? Overdosin', all the postin', no more toastin' over oceans? They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone? They say that your darkest hour comes before your dawn? But there was something I should've asked all along? I'mma ask on the song? Do you ever think of me when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies? And I knew better than to look in your eyes? They only pretend you will be mine? And you know how you made me believe? You had me caught in every web that you weave? But do you ever think of me when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies? I just figured if you saw me, if you looked in my eyes You'd remember our connection and be freed from the lies I just figured I was something that you couldn't replace But there was just a blank stare and I couldn't relate I just couldn't understand and I couldn't defend What we had, what we shared, and I couldn't pretend When the tears roll down it's like you ain't even notice em If you had a heart, I was hoping you would've showed it some What the f*ck you really telling me, what you telling me I could tell you lying, get the f*ck out, don't yell at me I ain't mean to cut you, I ain't wanna catch a felony This ain't how to be a player, you ain't Bill Bellamy They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They say that your darkest hour come before your dawn But there was something that I should've asked all along I'mma ask on the song So does she know I've been in that bed before A thousand count, and not a single threaded truth If I was just another girl Then I'm ashamed to say that I'm not over you There's one thing I need to know So call me, when you're not so busy just thinking of yourself Do you ever think of me when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies? And I knew better than to look in your eyes? They only pretend you will be mine? And you know how you made me believe? You had me caught in every web that you weave? But do you ever think of me when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
