My eyes see through

All this trash, you're talking

Got you hanging on the noose

And you still believe that I

Where they all knew your name
-I lost you for an hour, girl
-And it's driving me insane
-You're spinning me in circles
-Trying to make a fool of me
-And I usually ain't suspicious
-But I'm not too blind to see
-Everything you do
-Everywhere you go
-My eyes see through
-All this trash, you're talking
-Got you hanging on the noose
-And you still believe that I
-Won't turn my back on you
-You just keep forgetting
-To remember all your lies
-If you think, I still need you
-You got amnesia
-All this trash, you're talking
-Got you hanging on the noose
-And you still believe that I
-Won't turn my back on you
-You just keep forgetting
-To remember all your lies
-If you think, I still need you
-You got amnesia
