Thank You For Lying

I was 15, no, I was 16
With nothing but a big dream all on my mind
The preacher said one thing, but I thought another
Like doing cocaine while my rent fall behind

Daddy sat me on the washer and told me some lies
While blowing smoke in the sky
I like to think I know why, yeah, yeah
'Cause maybe you saw something I didn't
As a kid, I listened close
Now let me see what else is missing, I know

Thank you for lying to me
You gave me the key to something you never seen, la-la
Thank you for lying to me
Oh, how could it be? Your fire's my gasoline

I was 20, no, I was 22, you've been a fool
And I knew that since I was five, looking up at you
I got a stain on my shoulder with so much more to do
So it's nothing for me to eat you alive

You sat me up on the washer and told me some lies
You're drinking all of the time
I like to think I know why, yeah, yeah
'Cause maybe you saw something I didn't
As a kid, I listened close
Now let me see what else is missing, I know

Thank you for lying to me
You gave me the key to something you never seen, la-la
Thank you for lying to me
Oh, how could it be? Your fire's my gasoline

Thank you for lying to me
Thank you for lying to me, yeah
Thank you for lying to me
Thank you for lying to me
Thank you for lying to me
Thank you for lying to me

Thank you for lying to me
You gave me the key to something you never seen, la-la
Thank you for lying to me
Oh, how could it be? Your fire's my gasoline
Thank you for lying to me
Oh, how could it be? How could it be? Yeah
Thank you for lying to me
Oh, how could it be? Your fire's my gasoline
