  • Do you ever think of me when you lie?
    Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
    And I knew better than to look in your eyes
    They only pretend you would be mine
    And oh how you made me believe
    You had me caught in every web that you weaved
    But do you ever think of me when you lie?
    Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies

    You could never make eye contact
    Everything you got was based off of my contacts
    You a fraud, but I'mma remain icon-stat
    Balenciagas on my boots with the python strap
    You was caught up in the rush, and you was caught up in the thrill of it
    You was with me way before I hit a quarter mill' in it
    Put you in the crib and you ain't never pay a bill in it
    I was killin' it, man, you got me poppin' pills in it
    I told Baby hit you, I said this nigga buggin'
    'Cause I was doing it for us, I told 'em fuck the public
    Couldn't believe that I was home alone, contemplating
    Overdosin', no more coastin', no more toastin' over oceans
    They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
    They say that your darkest hour come before your dawn
    But there was something that I should've asked all along
    I'mma ask on the song

    Do you ever think of me when you lie?
    Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
    And I knew better than to look in your eyes
    They only pretend you would be mine
    And you know how you made me believe
    You had me caught in every web that you weaved
    But do you ever think of me when you lie?
    Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies

    I just figured if you saw me, if you looked in my eyes
    You'd remember our connection and be freed from the lies
    I just figured I was something that you couldn't replace
    But there was just a blank stare and I couldn't relate
    I just couldn't understand and I couldn't defend
    What we had, what we shared, and I couldn't pretend
    When the tears roll down it's like you ain't even notice 'em
    If you had a heart, I was hoping that you would show it some
    What the fuck you really telling me? What you telling me?
    I could tell you lying, get the fuck out, don't yell at me
    I ain't mean to cut you, I ain't wanna catch a felony
    This ain't How To Be A Player, you ain't Bill Bellamy
    They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
    They say that your darkest hour come before your dawn
    But there was something that I should've asked, all along
    I'mma ask on the song

    So does she know I've been in that bed before?
    A thousand count, and not a single thread of truth
    If I was just another girl
    Then I'm ashamed to say that I'm not over you
    There's one thing I need to know
    So call me when you're not so busy just thinking of yourself

    Do you ever think of me when you lie?
    Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
    And I knew better than to look in your eyes
    They only pretend you would be mine
    And oh how you made me believe
    You had me caught in every web that you weaved
    But do you ever think of me when you lie?
    Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies Writer/s: Alexander Junior Grant, Breyan Stanley Isaac, Daniel A. Johnson, Holly B. Hafermann, Jeremy Michael Coleman, Justin Harleigh Davey, Onika Tanya Maraj, Vinay V. Vyas
