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
