[Verse 1]
I never told you I don't know why
All those years, 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
Cause 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
And I'm trading in my sympathy for sanity
So hear me because I-
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh-oh
