You Should Have Lied

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

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

I don't get it

Where was your conscience when

You were with her

Couldn't you hear it scream out?

It doesn't matter

That you had the courage to tell me
