[Verse 1]
I know none of this is your fault, messaging you feels kind of assaultive
Saw your text, that’s how I found out, tell me the truth and his motives
I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth
No, I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth

[Verse 2]
How long has it been going on? Is it just s*x or is there emotion?
He told me it would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open
Why would I trust anything that comes out of his mouth?
Oh, why would I trust anything that comes out of his mouth?
[Chorus]
We had an arrangement
Be discreet and don’t be blatant
There had to be payment
It had to be with strangers
But you’re not a stranger, Madeline

[Interlude]
Hey, he is telling you the truth (Madeline)
Our relationship has only ever been about s*x
I can promise you that this is not an emotional connection (Madeline)
We don’t speak outside of the time we spend together (Madeline)
And whenever he talks about you, it’s with the upmost respect

[Verse 3]
You tell me he’s telling the truth, is that the case or a line that he fed you?
I wanna believe you but is it a ruse? Lie to me, babe and I’ll end you
I can’t trust anything that comes out of your mouth
I’m not convinced that he didn’t fu*k you in our house

[Verse 4]
Do you two ever talk about me? Has he told you that he doesn’t love me?
I bet he tells you, tells you he loves you, I’ve gotten old, gotten ugly
I wouldn’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth
Now, why would you trust anything that comes out of his mouth?

[Chorus]
We had an arrangement (An arrangement)
Be discreet and don’t be blatant (Blatant)
And there had to be payment (Payment)
It had to be with strangers (Strangers)
But you’re not a stranger, Madeline
Madeline, Madeline, Madeline
But you’re not a stranger, Madeline

[Outro]
I hate that you’re in so much pain right now
I really don’t wanna be the cause of any upset
He told me you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent
If he’s lying about that, then please let me know
Because I have my own feelings about dishonesty
Lies are not something that I want to get caught up in
You can reach out to me any time, by the way
If you need any more details or you just need to vent or anything
Love and light, Madeline
