Evil from top to bottom

It was nothing real, a grand scheme from the start

All you have left for your troubles is a broken heart

Call it what you will but no matter what, it is sad

Everything you believed was true but you were just had

Cry the blues and scream and throw things and swear

It won’t change a thing and it sure won’t make her care

Evil from top to bottom straight through

Smile as you twist the knife saying I love you

Excuses and lies and anything that helped your cause

Fell into the trap and never gave your words pause

Believing in your promises, your love seemed so sincere

Now I know that they were only meant to keep you here

In my heart so I would never stop caring

And oh how you loved the bank book you were sharing

Evil from top to bottom straight through

Smile as you twist the knife saying I love you

Sad lies are all you bathe in and then use as your perfume

Open all my windows, hit the fan get the stench out of myroom

Cleanse me from the filth of the your sick obsession

Which given all you stole is just a tax-free profession

Drain me like the dirty bath water from your every sin

Need a scorecard to tally up who you’ve had in

Evil from top to bottom straight through

Smile as you twist the knife saying I love you

Enjoy your days, but never try to remember

What was once there you torched to an ember

Live your lies, mourn your loss, slide on to your next prey

You chose the path so go prosper in your own sick way

My love is real, my heart is strong, my life’s not done

I’ll heal and smile again, you keep telling yourself you won
