It doesn't matter
|
That you had the courage to tell me
|
The easy way out
|
Was to free up your guilt, laid it on me
|
|
What do I care?
|
If it didn't really mean a thing why'd you do it?
|
I'm standing here
|
Looking at someone who doesn't
|
Know they blew it, yeah
|
|
[Chorus]
|
You should have lied
|
Cause' your stupid mistake
|
Made my world crash down
|
Now its goodbye
|
No you can't take it back
|
Once the truth has come out of your mouth
|
So you tried to be honest
|
But honesty blew it this time
|
You should have lied
|
|
If a tree falls inside of a forest and nobody hears it
|
It wont affect anybody 'cause no one will miss it
|
|
What would I care
|
If you were dying from the guilt of keeping a secret?
|
This isn't fair
|
'cause now I've gotta be the one dealing with it, oh
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I don't get it
|
Where was your conscience when
|
You were with her
|
Couldn't you hear it scream out?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
It doesn't matter
|
That you had the courage to tell me
|
|

You Should Have Lied
