G A I lied, I lied, I lied Bm To keep you from breaking my heart G A Bm Even though I said I didn't love you I lied I lied G A Bm Even though I said I didn't need you I lied I lied G A To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh Bm To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh G A Bm Even though I said don't touch me I lied, I lied G I can't fall for you, can't give my all to you A Can't let you think that Imma let the game stall for you Bm Gotta protect me you gotta sweat me Bm You said you thought you was ready and I said let's see G But I ain't mean that, I need some fucking proof A 'Cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose Bm You just a heart breaker won't let you break mine Bm 'Cause I'll be smashing windows and cutting them break lines G A Bm Bm I lied G 'Cause who knew that if I just let myself go with you A Bm Who knows, who knows, so I lied Bm G A To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh Bm G A To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh G A Bm Even though I said fuck you, I lied, I lied G I thought eventually you would let me go A That was my insecurities and my ego Bm Missed my jump shot missed my free throw Bm Miss the way we kiss, miss the D yo G Man it was good while it lasted A That shit wasn't real it was magic Bm If it was a record it would have been classic Bm But fuck you though, orgasmic Bridge: G A I guess this is what I gotta do to keep me from falling Bm Stalling the truth, who knew what you'd do if I let you in G My mama ain't raised no fool, I A I'm not your usual typical type Bm Who would protect me if I never hide? Bm Falling so fast I am afraid of you G A Bm So I lied, I lied, I lied G A To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh Bm To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh G A Bm I lied, ooh baby, oh G A Bm Bm 'Cause who knew that if I just let myself go with you
