Am
[Verse (00:03):]
AmThanks for treating me like every boy you Gmeet
So please come in and take a Dmseat
Here's the part when I learn, and you will Fteach
On how to treat Epeople like a piece of Ammeat
I want a genuine, not a replicaG  
Lethal medicine, a pin to the corneaDm  
A sight for sore eyes
While other guys conFsume the lie, I'll Erun and hideDm  
[Pre-Chorus (00:25):]
DmNo doors exist on my fortressAm  
The only entrance is the Gone I bearF  
You're nothing more than a temptressE

I fell victim to a heartless snare

[Verse 2 (01:00):]
AmI'm the master of construction
Because I'm Gbuilding walls like it's my occupationDm  
If you portray a liar,

It's an art form of consummate skillG  
Of how she plays them like the pawnDm  
Making boys drool at her willF  
Like Pavlov Eto the dogsDm

DmNo doors exist on my fortressAm  
The only entrance is the Gone I bearF
