I Shoulda Lied

I probably should have told her the sky was fallingOr maybe that my car ran out guessMy grandma was sick and I had to leave town right awayI don't careTell one more to fix the last oneBut I never get back to the truthThinking to myself she will never find outthat's what we do, that's how we doI wonder what she really thinks of meShould I really tell her everything?But it's too late can't take it backShe'll never look at me the same way again, noChorus:I shoulda lied, 'cause the truth made her set me freeAnd now goodbye, is more than just a wordMy honesty just became my enemyMaybe a lie now made things right this time,shoulda lied, shoulda liedShoulda say it was the end of the wordNow sadly it's my realityWould she stay if I said I only had one day left, stay with mePlease don't leaveI wonder what she really thinks of meI wish I would have never said a thinkBut it's too late for that, I don't think she's coming backAnd I'll never look the truth the same againChorus:I shoulda lied, 'cause the true made her set me freeAnd now goodbye, is more than just the wordMy honesty just became my enemyMaybe a lie would have made things right this time,Shoulda lied, shoulda liedNow I'm tryin hard to convince my heartThat everything will be okShe said she'd never leaveNow just can't believe she's gone and now I'm no one.Promised myself next time I won't tell the truth'cause if I knew what I knew right now I'd still be with youI shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied.
