I should have lied
What is wrong can be right
I should have lied

as everybody else
I should have lied
instead of telling you

telling you the truth

All those wicked promises

made about being up front and frank
really were no stronger than
some sugar in the rain

you and I are now no more than
pieces left from a great pair
for the wrong reasons torn part


(chorus)
I should have lied

Instead of tried
to make you see through my eyes
how things work for me

I should have lied
I should have lied
Lied instead of telling you

what I really meant
I should have lied


Please release me from this curse
of hearing you apologize
if you were wrong or not

now it doesnt change a thing
I was such a fool and now
I pay for being so nave

told you everything
that I thought was right


(chorus)
I should have lied
Instead of tried

to make you see through my eyes
how things work for me
I should have lied

I should have lied
Lied instead of telling you
what I really meant

I should have lied

(telephone conversation)


You and I
are no more

than pieces left
from fairy tail that broke down


You know its true

solo


(chorus)
I should have lied

Instead of tried
to make you see through my eyes
how things work for me

I should have lied
I should have lied
Lied instead of telling you

what I really meant
I should have lied


I should have lied
I should have lied
Lied instead of telling you

what I really meant

I should have lied

I should have lied
Lied instead of telling you
I should have lied
