River Lyrics - Eminem

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran] 

I've been a liar, been a thief 

Been a lover, been a cheat 

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me 

Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something 

If all it's gonna cause is pain 

Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain 

So let the river run 

[Verse 1: Eminem] 

He's comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack 

Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched 

On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict 

And she just wants to exact revenge and get back 

It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack 

She's kept track of all his Internet chats 

And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next 

Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks 

'Cause she loves danger, psychopath 

And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that 

But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back 

Knife in hand, says their relationship's hangin' by a strand 

So she's been on the web lately 

Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man 

And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care 

Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said "Bye Suzanne" 

After the first night, but tonight I am

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran] 

I've been a liar, been a thief 

Been a lover, been a cheat 

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me 

Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something 

If all it's gonna cause is pain 

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain 

So let the river run 

[Verse 2: Eminem] 

A one-night stand turned a two-night stand 

It was "come sunlight, scram," now we hug tight, and... 

He found out, now she feels deserted and used 

'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too 

Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through? 

It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, and Sue 

Don't want this to hurt, but what you deserve is the truth 

Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you 

So I revert to the studio, like hole-in-the-wall diners 

Don't have to be reserved in a booth 

I just feel like the person who I'm turning into's 

Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew 

And now that I got you I don't want you 

Took advantage in my thirst to pursue 

Why do I do this dirt that I do? 

Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech 

Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound 

'Cause now with her in the womb 

We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew 

To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit 

Fuck!

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran] 

I've been a liar, been a thief 

Been a lover, been a cheat 

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me 

Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something 

If all it's gonna cause is pain

So let the river run 

[Bridge: Eminem & Ed Sheeran] 

My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh) 

River (ooh), river run 

Call me (ooh), call me (ooh) 

River (ooh), we'll let the river run 

[Verse 3: Eminem] 

Always the bridesmaid, never "The bride, hey!" 

Fuck can I say? If life was a highway 

And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes 

Speeds at a high rate, like I'm slidin' on ice, maybe 

That's why I may have came at you sideways 

I can't keep my lies straight 

But I made you terminate my baby 

This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled 

What else can I say? It was fun for a while 

Bet I really woulda loved your smile 

Didn't really wanna abort, but fuck it 

What's one more lie, to tell our unborn child? 

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & Eminem] 

I've been a liar, been a thief 

Been a lover, been a cheat 

All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me 

Well, little one (I'm sorry) 

I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up) 

If all it's gonna cause is pain 

The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain 

So let the river run
