Lyrics Gene Watson

Gene Watson

The Truth Is I Lied

I said it was over

I said we were through

I said when I left I

Was done loving you

But I'm fighting a feeling

That can't be denied

Forget what I told you

The truth is I lied

I know you weren't expectin'

This visit from me

With my hat in my hand and

My heart on my sleeve

But I've stopped my pretending

And I've swallowed my pride

I came here to tell you

The truth is I lied

The truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought

This battle is harder than any war that we've fought

I said I could just push your memory aside

And I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied

Is it asking to much to forget and forgive

Dying for your love is no way to live

And the truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought

This battle is harder than any war that we've fought

I said I could just push your memory aside

I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied

Oh, I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
