I Lied

Sometimes you would wonder if someone else was on my mind

I couldn't just tell you, how could I tell you? So I lied

Tryin' to save somethin' I wasn't being true to so blind

I know that you know but how did you know?

I lied even when I knew you knew the truth

I lied, didn't know what you would do so

I lied, to your face I lied

I lied even when I saw the pictures on the bed

I lied, you knew my every move and things I said

But I lied, to your face I lied

Late nights, I would come in well after three

And hadn't got caught one time

You better not trip on me 'cause I might leave you

And walk away in spite of all the things I put you through

I'm a fool, I know that you know but how did you know?

I lied even when I knew you knew the truth

I lied, didn't know what you would do so

I lied, to your face I lied

I lied even when I saw the pictures on the bed

I lied, you knew my every move and things I said

But I lied, to your face I lied

Noon day, the mailman had a special delivery for you

You opened it and screamed, "Oh", 'cause you saw me

Checkin' out of the Meridian with some floozie

I know that you know but how did you know?

I lied even when I knew you knew the truth

I lied, didn't know what you would do so

I lied, to your face I lied

I lied even when I saw the pictures on the bed

I lied, you knew my every move and things I said

But I lied, to your face I lied

I know the truth may let you down but it's better

Than findin' out from someone else

I know the pain is still the same but I should've

Been a man instead of foolin' myself

I lied even when I knew you knew the truth

I lied, didn't know what you would do so

I lied, to your face I lied

I lied, even when I saw the pictures on the bed

I lied, you knew my every move and things I said

I lied, to your face I lied

I lied and I'm sorry

But I lied, please forgive me

I lied
