Liar

Goodbye ma an' pa Worst thing ya ever saw Me dyin' on ya for bein' successful Never meant to make your lives so stressful I do what I do for you, baby Or I do it for me, for money, maybe Who knows now, babe I don't You told me to not get in trouble I said I won't Cursed myself for lyin' before I hit the floor Never shoulda got into this money war Didn't mean to lie to you, didn't think I was It's alright though, babe, stupid is as stupid does Brother, don't envy me I'm the worst guy you ever seen I was good to you, to the crew We were the best through and through Told ya I'd be back before 9 My blood fell an hour after then Red as wine Didn't mean to lie to you, didn't think I was It's alright though brother, stupid is as stupid does Steppin' outside into the fray What a stupid mistake I made that day Got a shot to the chest, one to the head It hurt so bad, boy, I knew I was dead Shoulda raised you right, never did Tried to make you a happy kid Told ya I'd be back for dinner But sorry, boy, your daddys a sinner Didn't mean to lie to you, didn't think I was It's alright though boy, stupid is as stupid does Heres the apology to myself before I go We had some fun, it was a great show Shoulda made the right decisions, I didn't Said I'd make it through, I didn't Didn't mean to lie to myself, thought I was the best It's alright though, I can finally take a rest
