A co-write with my ex-girlfriend, Angela Haynes. She gave me some lyrics, I fleshed them out and wrote the tune.
lyrics
All the world's laughing, now I'm crying over you
Everyone told me you would never be true
You said the cheating had stopped long ago
But you're still a liar
And I'm dying to know.......
Why did you tell me that you had to work late
When I found you up town going out on a date?
You said it was business that you had to arrange
But you're still a liar
And you won't ever change
How many lines must you carry on spinning?
I've lost a battle but the war I am winning
This is not the end
This is just a new beginning again
So don't think that I'm such a fool that I would
Keep you warm in my bed while you're up to no good
Just take your belongings and head out the door
'Cause you're still a liar
I don't want lies anymore
You're still a liar
I don't want lies anymore
