She'd come home, 6 a.m.
Tell me she'd been out with friends
And I let her lie
I let her lie
And in the glare of the morning sun
She swore I was her only one
And I let her lie
I let her lie
'Cause the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn't bare to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal but
She was my only world
One teary night, she confessed her sins
But she vowed to never cheat again
And I let her lie
I let her lie
Though she tried Lord, she could not change
And I only have myself to blame
'Cause I let her lie
I let her lie
'Cause the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn't bare to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal but
She was my only world
The day I left, no words were said
She was sound asleep on our double bed
And I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
