River

River - Jacob Kelly/Sebastian Hall

Composed by：Marshall Mathers/Edward Christopher Sheeran/Emile Haynie

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

Well 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 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 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 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 using me

To try to play him I don't care

Hi Suzanne but I shoulda 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 washing over me

Well little one I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

A one-night stand turned a two-night stand

It was come sunlight 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 turning 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

Been a thief

Been a lover been a cheat

All my sins need holy water feel it washing over me

Well little one I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

My name's ooh my name's ooh

River ooh river run

Call me ooh call me ooh

River ooh we'll let the river run

Always the bridesmaid never the bride hey

F**k can I say if life was a highway

And deceit was an enclave I'd be swerving 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 woulda loved your smile

Didn't really wanna abort but f**k it

What's one more lie to tell our unborn child

Been a thief

Been a lover been a cheat

All my sins need holy water feel it washing over me

Well little one I'm sorry

I don't want to admit to something I f**ked up

If all it's gonna 'cause is pain

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run river run
