C  And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes
Em                       D5Speeds at a high rate like I'm slidin' on ice maybe
C  That's why I'm may have came at you sideways
D5I can't keep my lies straight


        Em  But I made you terminate my baby
              EmThis love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled
                C  What else can I say, it was fun for a while, 
Cbet I really woulda loved your smile
CDidn't really wanna abort but fuck it, 
Cwhat's one more lie to tell our unborn child?
