River (feat. Ed Sheeran)

Ive 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 dont want to admit to something
If all its gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
Hes comin home with his neck scratched, to catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched
On his breaths Jack, hes a sex addict
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
Its a chess match, shes on his back like a jet-pack
Shes kept track of all his Internet chats
And guess who just happens to be movin 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 dont fuck with no mans girl, even I know that
But shes devised some plan to stab him in the back
Knife in hand, says their relationships hangin by a strand
So shes been on the web lately
Says maybe shell be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
And I know shes using me to try to play him, I dont care
Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said 'Bye Suzanne'
After the first night, but tonight I am
Ive 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 dont want to admit to something
If all its gonna cause is pain
The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
One- night stand, turned to 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 were through?
Its hard to find the words, Im aloof, nervous, and Sue
Dont want this to hurt, but what you deserve is the truth
Dont take it personal, I just cant say this in person to you
So I revert to the studio, like hole-in-the-wall diners
Dont have to be reserved in a booth
I just feel like the person who Im turning intos
Irreversible, I preyed on you like its church at the pew
And now that I got you I dont 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 cant bring her in this world, shoulda knew
To use protection fore I bit into your forbidden fruit
Fuck!
Ive 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 dont want to admit to something
If all its gonna cause is pain
The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
My names (ooh), my names (ooh)
River (ooh), river run
Call me (ooh ), call me (ooh)
River (ooh), well let the river run
Always the bridesmaid, never 'The bride, hey!'
Fuck can I say? If life was a highway
And deceit was an enclave, Id be swerving in five lanes
Speeds at a high rate, like Im slidin on ice , maybe
Thats why I may have came at you sideways
I cant 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
Didnt really wanna abort, but fuck it
Whats one more lie, to tell our unborn child?
Ive 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 (Im sorry)
I dont want to admit to something (I fucked up)
If all its gonna cause is pain
The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
