 Yeah yeah yeah yeah  woah woah woah oh
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
 I’m screaming,
 He’s talking over,
 I’ve asked him twice,
 Says he don’t know her,
 I raise a fist,
 He grabs my wrist,
 Ask for the truth,
 And this is what I get,
 I only asked him
 Who called to sell your love?
 He said he don’t know,
 But yeah it was a girl.
 And it’s killing,
 Like nothing of it,
 Now I’m tripping,
 I’m yelling up in public like,
Ohhhhh
 Can you please  just be honest?
 You tell  me some stories but I just don’t want to know,
No  I just  don’t believe it,
 And all  I want to do is keep screaming,
 And he’s like,
Please calm down
 (Baby, baby)
 Because you're talking too loud  loud
 I’m hollering,
You  won't let the truth come out
 So please calm down
 Baby, because you’re firing too high  (too high)
Should  I keep the truth inside?
 So maybe it was better to lie
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
 I walk away,
 So he comes after,
 I’m running quick,
 But he runs faster.
 So explanation  that I don’t need,
 He tells me “Baby, can you sit down and breathe?”
 Freaking out,  hysterical,
 Said you shouldn't lie
 Would’ve been better off
 So silly me  thinking you're a good guy
Maybe  now you know not to lie
Ohhhhh
 Can you please  just be honest?
 You tell  me some stories but I just don’t want to know,
No  I just  don’t believe it,
 And all  I want to do is keep screaming,
 And he’s like,
Please calm down
 (Baby, baby)
 Because you're talking too loud  loud
 I’m hollering,
You  won't let the truth come out
 So please calm down
 Baby, because you’re firing too high  (too high)
Should  I keep the truth inside?
 So maybe it was better to lie
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
 I thought  it would be better if I did you right,
 But I guess I should’ve told you lies,
You’re  right, you’re  right,
And  now you’re standing there telling me,
Please calm down
 (Baby, baby)
 Because you're talking too loud  loud
 I’m hollering,
You  won't let the truth come out
 So please calm down
 Baby, because you’re firing too high  (too high)
Should  I keep the truth inside?
 So maybe it was better to lie
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
 Said its better  better,
 I never  should’ve let her know
 It was better to lie.
