You Made Your Bed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I say black
You say white
You do anything to be the one that's right
Go to extremes
Got to win
Still you're not happy
Just see the state you're in
You're never satisfied are you baby
Tell me what is driving you crazy
You're feeling something's wrong and you blame me
Well I just wanna say
It's your stupid mistake
I don't regret the time that we shared
But I do resent the martyr you play though
I'm the one who suffers more than my share of
All the hurt in this game
This mixed up game
Now you made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
Not Lucifer
Not the Trinity
No one on earth can make you feel at ease
It serves me right
Cos I left you once
I broke my own rule
Because I wanted to please
But you're never satisfied are you baby
Tell me what is driving you crazy
You're feeling something strong and you blame me
Well I just wanna say
It's your stupid mistake
Now you made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
Get cancelled out by the weird things
I say black
You say white
You do anything to be the one that's right
But you're never satisfied
I said you're never satisfied
Something is always driving you crazy
Something is driving you crazy
You made your bed you can lie on it
You made your bed you can lie on it
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
