[Verse 1] Could you please just put the coffee down? It's two in the mornin' and I'm already ready for bed Went to turn the TV down Hand me the remote, but both of the batteries were dead Couldn't make decisions Thought I needed your permission So I don't drink black coffee now Don't know how it didn't taste so bitter back then [Pre-Chorus] And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it Even your mama sees it, maybe you should believe it And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all [Chorus] So why do I, why do I, why do I lie Lie about you? Why do I, why do I, why do I try Pretendin' I'm cool when I'm not? 'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see I tried to deny you were hurtin' me I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie Lie about you? [Verse 2] Should've seen that all the flags were red But in your defense, I went and painted 'em white For a minute, never second guessed When you put me down so you could pull up your pride Guess I learned that I'm worth somethin' Bet you never saw that comin' And I hope someday you'll understand Your problems with me were always your own design [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it Even your mama sees it, maybe you should believe it And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all (At all) [Chorus] So why do I, why do I, why do I lie Lie about you? Why do I, why do I, why do I try Pretendin' I'm cool when I'm not? 'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see I tried to deny you were hurtin' me I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie Lie about you? [Bridge] I know I'm dumb to think that you'd regret a thing But I wish you did I tried to be your puppet, wear your golden ring Couldn't make it fit And I played along 'til I cut the strings I had to relearn almost everything 'Bout who I was, who I wanna be, who you never could [Chorus] (So why do I lie?) So why do I, why do I, why do I lie Lie about you? (Why do I try?) Why do I, why do I, why do I try Pretendin' I'm cool when I'm not? 'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see (Everyone told me) I tried to deny you were hurtin' me I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie (Why do I lie?) Lie about you? (Why do I lie?) [Outro] Lie, lie, lie about you (So why do I lie?) Lie, lie, lie about you (Why do I, why do I lie?) Lie, lie, lie about you I know I shouldn't so why do I lie Lie about you?
