Lyrics for The Grifters

To've write the words, I promise you Then as a slur, I promise you To hold the gift of thoughtfulness To excuse the act of crushing it As you know, I've been called a liar And so I know what a lying person does To whisper self-servingly o' thy tears Then to demoralize the one who took a chance on you To invite my heart to be sewn Then to BOO At it as a gag As you know, I've been called a liar And so I know what a lying person does But I'm also a friend unlike you And know what a friend will do too Too much has deflowered as more than enough To seize off of me The slip of self love As you know, I've been called a liar And so I know what a lying person does But I'm also a friend unlike you And know what a friend will do too
