[Verse 1]
          A                          E
Could you please just put the coffee down?
              C#m                     B
It's 2 in the morning and I'm already ready for bed
A                   E
Went to turn the TV down
              C#m                   B
Hand me the remote, but both of the batteries were dead
         A      E
Couldn't make decisions,
                 C#m     B
Thought I needed your permission
   A                          E
So I don't drink black coffee now
                  C#m                         B
Don't know how it didn't taste so bitter back then
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            A                        E
And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it
     C#m                       B
Even your momma sees it, maybe you should believe it
            A            E                    C#m  B
And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all
 
 
[Chorus]
   A                   E
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie?
C#m        B
 Lie about you
A                   E
Why do I, why do I, why do I try?
C#m             B
 Pretending I'm cool, when I'm not
       A                     E
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see
  C#m               B
I tried to deny you were hurting me
A                      E
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie
C#m        B
 Lie about you?
 
 
[Verse 2]
          A                            E
Should've seen that all the flags were red
              C#m                           B
But in your defense I went and painted them white
      A                   E
For a minute never second guessed
                C#m                            B
When you put me down so you could pull up your pride
                A              E
Guess I learned that I'm worth something
              C#m      B
Bet you never saw that coming
      A                         E
And I hope someday you'll understand
                   C#m                       B
Your problems with me were always your own design
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            A                        E
And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it
     C#m                       B
Even your momma sees it, maybe you should believe it
            A            E                    C#m  B
And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all, at all
 
 
[Chorus]
   A                   E
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie?
C#m        B
 Lie about you
A                   E
Why do I, why do I, why do I try?
C#m             B
 Pretending I'm cool, when I'm not
       A                     E
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see
  C#m               B
I tried to deny you were hurting me
A                      E
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie
C#m        B
 Lie about you?
 
 
[Bridge]
           A
I know I'm dumb to think you regret a thing
E
But I wish you did
           F#m                              C#m
I tried to be your puppet, wear your golden ring, couldn't make it fit
    C#m/B     A
And I played along til I cut the strings
           E
I had to relearn almost everything
                F#m                           C#m
Bout who I was, who I wanna be, who you never could
 
 
[Chorus]
   A                   E
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie?
C#m        B
 Lie about you
A                   E
Why do I, why do I, why do I try?
C#m             B
 Pretending I'm cool, when I'm not
       A                     E
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see
  C#m               B
I tried to deny you were hurting me
A                      E
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie
C#m        B
 Lie about you?
 
 
[Outro]
          A         E    C#m        B
(Why do I lie?) Lie, lie, lie about you
             A         E    C#m        B
(So why do I lie?) Lie, lie, lie about you
                    A    E    C#m             B
(Why do I, why do I lie?) Lie, lie, lie about you
A                     E           C#m         B
I know I shouldn't so why do I lie, lie about you?
              [Verse 1]
Could you please just put the coffee down?
It's two in the mornin' and I'm already ready for bed
Went to turn the TV down
Hand me the remote, but both of the batteries were dead
Couldn't make decisions
Thought I needed your permission
So I don't drink black coffee now
Don't know how it didn't taste so bitter back then

[Pre-Chorus]
And if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it
Even your mama sees it, maybe you should believe it
And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all

[Chorus]
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie
Lie about you?
Why do I, why do I, why do I try
Pretendin' I'm cool when I'm not?
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see
I tried to deny you were hurtin' me
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie
Lie about you?

[Verse 2]
Should've seen that all the flags were red
But in your defense, I went and painted 'em white
For a minute, never second guessed
When you put me down so you could pull up your pride
Guess I learned that I'm worth somethin'
Bet you never saw that comin'
And I hope someday you'll understand
Your problems with me were always your own design

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if your friends all see it, your boyfriend sees it
Even your mama sees it, maybe you should believe it


 

And I ain't got no reason to be mistreated at all (At all)

[Chorus]
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie
Lie about you?
Why do I, why do I, why do I try
Pretendin' I'm cool when I'm not?
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see
I tried to deny you were hurtin' me
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie
Lie about you?

[Bridge]
I know I'm dumb to think that you'd regret a thing
But I wish you did
I tried to be your puppet, wear your golden ring
Couldn't make it fit
And I played along 'til I cut the strings
I had to relearn almost everything
'Bout who I was, who I wanna be, who you never could

[Chorus]
(So why do I lie?)
So why do I, why do I, why do I lie
Lie about you?
(Why do I try?)
Why do I, why do I, why do I try
Pretendin' I'm cool when I'm not?
'Cause everyone told me what I couldn't see (Everyone told me)
I tried to deny you were hurtin' me
I know I shouldn't, so why do I lie (Why do I lie?)
Lie about you? (Why do I lie?)

[Outro]
Lie, lie, lie about you (So why do I lie?)
Lie, lie, lie about you (Why do I, why do I lie?)
Lie, lie, lie about you
I know I shouldn't so why do I lie
Lie about you?
