Everything You Ever Told Me

Mikey, that's you right?

I try to walk away, but you won't let me go

I'm locked up in these chains

But I'm worth my weight in gold

Everything you ever told me

(Everything you ever told me!)

Was a goddamn lie

Trying to take a piece of my mind?

Every dream you never sold me

(Every dream you never sold me)

Had a price too high

And I cain't afford to pay it no mind

Everything you ever told me?

(Everything you ever told me)

Everything you ever told me?

Everything you ever told me

Man, I cannot fuck with these hope dealers

Cause that first hit get you so numb

That you won't feel it

And you don't realize that they got their hooks in

Till you try to walk away

And you can't

Keep feeding you lies

You eat it and smile

And then when you try

They pull you back in

Whenever they start reeling

But, they leave enough slack in the line

Once You take the bait

To make you think you good

They tell you they love you

And they wanna help you win

You give'em your everything

Hoping that this time it could be different

But it never is

Just another myth

And somehow the more that you give

You just end up feeling like less

And that glimmer of hope

That they sold you will flicker

Until there ain't anything left

And when the hope runs out

And you all broke down?

Become someone who just ain't you?

They'll smile in your face

And laugh at your pain

While still expecting a "Thank you"

I try to walk away

But you won't let me go

I'm locked up in these chains

But I'm worth my weight in gold

Everything you ever told me

(Everything you ever told me)

Was a goddamn lie

Trying to take a piece of my mind?

Every dream you never sold me

Had a price too high

And I can't afford to pay it no mind

Everything you ever told me?

(Everything you ever told me!)

Everything you ever told me?

(Yuh)

(Everything you ever told me.)

Hey, why you trying to say you love me?

You can't look me in my eyes?

You swear you wouldn't cheat?

You went and slept with all them guys?

I tried to stick with you through lows

And keep you out for all the highs

I didn't know you were a demon, scheming

You're in a disguise

Now I'm the motherfucking man, right?

When I walk inside the room?

Cause I was born to be a star

Right when I started in the womb

See I was scarred and torn apart

All of my trauma was from you

Bitch, I'm so lucky I ain't dead

From all the damage that you do

And I ain't even about to waste none of my energy

And try to act like you could ever become kin to me

And you will never be okay

You aren't a friend to me

To keep it honest

You should probably be my enemy

You almost brought it out of me

Try to walk away

But you won't let me go

I'm locked up in these chains

But I'm worth my weight in gold

Everything you ever told me

(Everything you ever told me)

Was a goddamn lie

Trying to take a piece of my mind

Every dream you never sold me

Had a price too high

And I can't afford to pay it no mind

Everything you ever told me

(Everything you ever told me)

Everything you ever told me

Everything you ever told me
