Lyrics

DEAD TO ME

VERSE

Paid through the years, sat through the trials
Said all the prayers, lived all the denials
Settled for fair when we turned out the lights
Ignored all my friends when I knew they were right

I gave you the best ride of your life
Resisted temptation when it came by
I stood by you then, but given the truth
I found I was blind-sided by you

CHORUS

You tell me that you're trying, you're sorry and you'll change
You're saying that you love me, but you're lying
I can see it in your eyes, figure me for a fool
Someone you could use and abuse, baby
Now you're DEAD TO ME

VERSE

Said you would stop, said it was over
So I believed when you told me you told her
Drawing the shades as my heart starts to harden
How long till the world sees the weeds in our garden

I found the receipts, presents you bought
That weren't for me and so you got caught
Don't cry for help 'cause no one can hear
You've made your bed and now I'm making it clear

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE

When are you gonna find out that it's not all about you
You never knew me
I'll never find myself letting my guard down, 'cause I
Turned my life around
And I let you hurt me, hurt me so deep
No one's ever gonna burn me, you'll see

(REPEAT CHORUS, AD LIB )
