You Lied To Me

You promised me roses,
Said you'd bring me the sunrise.
But all you did offer were thorns
You brought me nothing but darkness. 
Thought you were an angel
It shreds my heart to see your horns.
I mistook you for Ariel
When you're Calliban in disguise. 
A beautiful bag of crisis
Evil painted in all fairness

I fell for it
A kiss so sweet.
I lost my wit
On that fine street.
I took it all
Bait, hook, line, sinker 
Brought down my wall
Wasn't a thinker
I let my guard down
And you took the crown

O! O! I should have known
That you are just a gold digger
You take what you don't own
And slay with a sweet blunt dagger

How come I didn't see
The foul maggots in your cupboard
O! It must be those eyes
How long have you been lying to me
It was a nice show here's an applaud
Farewell to those wonderful lies

It breaks my heart
To come to think that
You could actually lie to me
That you ain't what you claimed to be

You lied to me
You lied to me
Baby those nights
You lied to me
On the yatch 
You lied to me 
In the garage
You lied to me
In the blue lights
You lied to me
In Paris
You lied to me
With that iris
You lied to me 
You lied to me
O! You lied to me
