I Lied

Did you believe me when I said These thoughts of you, even years later, stay in my head The days are lonely, the nights I dread I watch the door hoping you'll come back again I lied to you the day We said goodbye and walked away Now I'm here needing to tell you all the words I just couldn't say They've been here locked inside me since that tearful day I lied to you when I For you would no longer cry I do so much now but God knows I try I lied to myself When I thought I could find someone else I lied when I made myself believe You were someone with whom I would no longer want or need I lie to everyone when yet still I pretend I'm okay and can control these memories at my own will I don't know what else to do I lied Yes it's true Let the truth be told now I'm in love with you
