River Akor

CAPO ON 4TH FRET

KAPO: 4

 

I've been a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat

All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me

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

If all it's gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

 

 

He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack

Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch

 

On his breast jacket is 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 jetpack

She's kept track of all his internet chats and guess who just

 

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's devised some plan to stab him in the back

Knife in hand, says the relationship's hanging 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 washin' over me

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

If all it's gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

 

So let the river run

 

 

One night stand turned into two night stayin', it was cold

And some might scram, y'all 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 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 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 turnin' into's

Irreversible, I prayed on you like it's 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 dirt that I do?

 

Get off my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech

Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb

 

'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

 

 

I've been (fuck!) a liar, been a thief, been a lover, been a cheat

 

All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me

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

If all it's gonna cause is pain, truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

 

So let the river run

 

My name's (oh-oh), my name's (oh-oh) Denver (oh-oh), never run

Just call me (oh-oh), call me (oh-oh) River (oh-oh)

N.C.

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 sequel’s an enclave, I’ll be swerving in five lanes

 

 

Speeds at a high rate like I'm sliding on ice maybe

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

 

I can't keep my lies straight

 

What 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 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 washin' over me

Well little one, (I’m sorry) I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)

If all it's gonna cause is pain, the truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run (river run, river run, river run)
