  • You told me it's the truth but I'm still afraid
    I'm not the one who would jump the gun
    If I had proof I'd take off my shades
    And be blinded by the sun

    One lie, two lies, I shoulda said shoo fly.
    Shame on me, I usually see through lies.
    Said you loved me, yeah right.
    I thought we were air tight.
    You were playing foul, it was far from a fair fight.
    I hung onto your every word, sweetest shit I ever heard.
    I even made you pinky swear, just so I was reassured.
    The rumors started gettin' back, that so and so was hittin' that.
    Silly me for being such an addict for that kitty cat.

    You told me it's the truth but I'm still afraid
    I'm not the one who would jump the gun
    If I had proof I'd take off my shades
    And be blinded by the sun
    You said you were in love but the games you played
    I hope that you're having fun
    You see I need you to take off my shades,
    And be blinded by the sun.

    Three lies, four lies, you shoulda been a tour guide.
    The way you lead me on, knowing I was one of four guys
    Said you loved me, okay. Where were you the other day?
    Your car was parked at 38th, but you were at your mothers place?
    Your mother lives on Broadway. I followed you all day.

    I called but you ignored it when you kissed him in the hallway.
    Call me crazy, call me odd, call me what you want to.
    But Karma is a bitch, I pray to God she always haunts you.

    You told me it's the truth but I'm still afraid
    I'm not the one who would jump the gun
    If I had proof I'd take off my shades
    And be blinded by the sun
    You said you were in love but the games you played
    I hope that you're having fun
    You see I need you to take off my shades,
    And be blinded by the sun.

    I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

    I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

    I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

    I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can

    You told me it's the truth but I'm still afraid
    I'm not the one who would jump the gun
    If I had proof I'd take off my shades
    And be blinded by the sun
    You said you were in love but the games you played
    I hope that you're having fun
    You see I need you to take off my shades,
    And be blinded by the sun. Writer/s: COREY HART, DISASHI LUMUMBRA-KASONGO, ERIC ROBERTS, KHEAVEN BRERETOH, MATTHEW MCGINLEY, PATRICK STUMP, TRAVIS MCCOY
