I never told you, I don't know why But all those years and all those lies Cling to my body like oil and fire And they will not sleep, they will not tire So we have a problem, you see, my dear 'Cos I can't move on and I can't stay here I gotta fix it, I need your tears But mostly now I need your ears See, I gotta tell you, I need you to know You were my ruin when you took hold You made me believe the lies you told But you won't get away with the pride you stole Getting off this dusty road Girls never tell you, I don't know how But sometimes, men, you abuse your power We are strong and we do rebound But bruising tends to break us down So I gotta tell you, I need you to know You were my ruin when you took hold You made me believe the lies you told But you won't get away with the pride you stole Getting off this dusty road And I'm trading in my sympathy for sanity So hear me because I I gotta tell you, I need you to know You were my ruin when you took hold You made me believe the lies you told But you won't get away with the pride you stole Getting off this dusty road
