I probably should have told her the sky was falling
|
Or maybe that my car ran out guess
|
My grandma was sick and I had to leave town right away
|
I don't care
|
Tell one more to fix the last one
|
But I never get back to the truth
|
Thinking to myself she will never find out that's what we do, that's how we
|
Do
|
I wonder what she really thinks of me
|
Should I really tell her everything?
|
But it's too late can't take it back
|
She'll never look at me the same way again, no
|
|
Chorus:
|
I shoulda lied, 'cause the truth made her set me free
|
And now goodbye, is more than just a word
|
My honesty just became my enemy
|
Maybe a lie now made things right this time, shoulda lied, shoulda lied
|
Shoulda say it was the end of the word
|
Now sadly it's my reality
|
Would she stay if I said I only had one day left, stay with me
|
Please don't leave
|
I wonder what she really thinks of me
|
I wish I would have never said a think
|
But it's too late for that, I don't think she's coming back
|
And I'll never look the truth the same again
|
|
Chorus:
|
I shoulda lied, 'cause the true made her set me free
|
And now goodbye, is more than just the word
|
My honesty just became my enemy
|
Maybe a lie would have made things right this time, shoulda lied, shoulda
|
Lied
|
|
Now I'm tryin hard to convince my heart
|
That everything will be ok
|
She said she'd never leave
|
Now just can't believe she's gone and now I'm no one.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
Promised myself next time I won't tell the truth
|
'Cause if I knew what I knew right now I'd still be with you
|
I shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied.
