You said you want me
That was just a lie
You said you love me
That was just a lie
All I wanted was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn't work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied

You said you need me
That was just a lie
You said the truth
Once that was just a lie

All I needed was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn't work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied

All I needed was someone
Who could keep me
Warm at night
You tried it baby
But it didn't work
And now I know
This is gonna be the end
Oh, but you lied
