I probably should have told her the sky was falling Or maybe that my car ran out of gas My grandma was sick and I had to leave town right away And I don't care
Tell one more to fix the last one But I'll never get back to the truth Thinking to myself she'll never find out That's what we do, that's how we do
I wonder what she really thinks of me Should've had really told her everything But it's too late, can't take it back She'll never look at me in the same way again, no
I shoulda lied 'cause the truth made her to set me free And now goodbye is more than just the word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would've made things right this time Shoulda lied, shoulda lied
Should've said it was the end of the world Now sadly it's my reality Would she stay if I said I only had one day left Stay with me, please don't leave
I wonder what she really thinks of me I wish I wouldn't if I said a thing But it's too late for that And I don't think she's coming back And I'll never look the truth the same again
I shoulda lied 'cause the truth made her to set me free And now goodbye is more than just the word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would've made things right this time Shoulda lied, shoulda lied
Now I'm trying hard to convince my heart That everything will be okay She said she'd never leave And I just can't believe she's gone And now I know why
I shoulda lied 'cause the truth made her to set me free, yeah And now goodbye is more than just the word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would've made things right this time I should've lied and now goodbye
Promised myself next time I won't tell the truth 'Cause if I knew what I knew right now I'd still be with you I shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied
