River Songtext / Lyric

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

A little one, I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain

The truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain

So let the river run






He's coming home with his next grasp to catch flack

Sweat jackets and dress less, mismatch

On his breast jackets is sex addict

And cheaters want to egg sack it for being checked, get back

It's a chest match, she's on his back like a jetpack

She's kept track of all his internet chats

And guess who just so happens to be moving on to the next

Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

'Cause she loves danger, psychopath

And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that

But she deviced some plan to stab him in the back

Knifing hands, says the relationship hanging by a strip

So she's been on the web lately

Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, despite 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



A little one, I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain



The truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain

So let the river run



One night stand turned into night stayin'

It was cold, some lights gram

Y'all be hung tight and

He found out, now she feels deserted and used

'Cause he left, so what? He did inverse 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 suited

When it's too hurt but what you deserve is the truth

Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in cursin' 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 turnin' into is

Irreversible, I prayed on you like a church at the pew

And now that I got you I don't want you

Took advantage of my thirst to pursue

Why do I do this to her that I do?



Get off my soul box and breach, mass earnin' in speech

Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb

'Cause now with her in the womb



We can't bring her in this bullshit in new

To use protection 'fore I pity to your forbidden crew

Fuck!



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



A little one, I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain



The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run



My name's (ooh)

My name's (ooh)

Denver (ooh)



I should never run

Just call me (ooh)

Call me (ooh)

River (ooh)

We'll let the river run



Always the bride's maid, never "The bride, hey!"



Fuck can I say? If life was a highway

The sequels are non-clay

But be swerving in five lanes

Speeds that are high, rave like I'm sliding on ice maybe

That's why I'm made, that came at you sideways



I can't keep my life straight, what I made you terminate my baby

This love triangle left us in a rectangled

What else can I say? It was fun for a while

That I really woulda' loved your smile

Then you really wanna abort

But fuck 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

A little one (I'm sorry, I fucked up)

I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain

The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run
