I Lied

I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried

Tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow

I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you, but it died

Told you I could never love somebody else, but I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

I told you I'd be comin' back again for you, but I'm not

Goin' way out where the world will never find me

I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride

Told you I would never leave you all alone, but I lied

I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried

They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken

I made a vow to stand beside you till the day that I die

Told you I could never live without your love, but I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied

Uh-hmm, I lied
