[Intro]

Oh yeah, oh no, oh no

But you lied, savior, but you lied

But you lied, savior, but you lied

You lied to me

[Chorus]

Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me

I had a really bad feeling you'd been lyin' to me

We were on the low but you were gettin' high with me

Learned a lesson when you showed a different side I see

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me

[Verse 1]

I hope you think about me every time you touch it

I hope your new girl hears it and she loves it

Devil's front door and I'm banging on the line

If I said I want an answer I'd be lyin', I'd be lyin', yeah

[Verse 2]

They say what the devil can't do

He's gon' send a woman to

You seek to hide, you're dead inside

Won't see me cry

[Chorus]

Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me

I had a really bad feeling you'd be lyin' to me

We were on the low but you were gettin' high with me

Learned a lesson when you showed a different side I see

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me

[Verse 3]

Settle down, I'll spell it out, it's simple enough

I came around, I figured out, should follow my gut

I don't play anymore, I went through your phone

And called the girls in your DMs and took all them home

And I know it's been a while since the last time you heard from me

Grew into a savage, you can hear it in this verse, honey

Turns out it shows 'cause they turn out at shows

I sold forty million copies of our break-up note

Brought some strangers in our beds, so now you lost your right to privacy

Spilling all our secrets, you thought they'd probably die with me

Know you fucking love it on the low

And you don't have to say I'm crazy 'cause I know

Nothing's changed though

[Chorus]

Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me

I had a really bad feeling you'd be lyin' to me

We were on the low but you were gettin' high with me

Learned a lesson when you showed a different side I see

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (You'd die, you'd die, you'd die)

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me (You lied, you lied, you lied)

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (You'd die, you'd die, you'd die)

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me (You lied, you lied, you lied)

Yeah

[Bridge]

This is the last time, I'ma do you the honor

I gave you a headline, I know I shouldn't bother

This is a lesson to take, hold someone tight and they break

Then you say it's a mistake, but you meant it anyway

Now you can't blame me, tell them you made me

Ignore the shit that you did on the daily

Think that you played me, but you can't save me

All of that shit that 'bout how I'm fucking crazy

[Chorus]

Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me

I had a really bad feeling you'd be lyin' to me

We were on the low but you were gettin' high with me

Learned a lesson when you showed a different side I see

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (You'd die, you'd die, you'd die)

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me (You lied, you lied, you lied)

Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (You'd die, you'd die, you'd die)

But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me (You lied, you lied, you lied)

Yeah
