Watson, Gene - The Truth Is I Lied Lyrics






I said it was over
I said we were through
I said when I left I
Was done loving you
But I'm fighting a feeling
That can't be denied
Forget what I told you
The truth is I lied

I know you weren't expectin'
This visit from me
With my hat in my hand and
My heart on my sleeve
But I've stopped my pretending
And I've swallowed my pride
I came here to tell you
The truth is I lied

The truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought
This battle is harder than any war that we've fought
I said I could just push your memory aside
And I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied

Is it asking to much to forget and forgive
Dying for your love is no way to live
And the truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought
This battle is harder than any war that we've fought
I said I could just push your memory aside
I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
Oh, I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied

    THE TRUTH IS I LIED
    Gene Watson
    I said it was over
    I said we were through
    I said when I left I
    Was done loving you
    But I'm fighting a feeling
    that cant be denied
    Forget what I told you
    the truth is I lied
    I know you weren't expectin'
    This visit from me
    With my hat in my hand and
    My heart on my sleeve
    But I've stopped my pretending
    And I've swallowed my pride
    I'm not above saying
    The truth is I lied
    The truth is I'm not quite as strong as
    I thought this battle is harder
    than an war that we've fought
    I said I could just push your memory aside
    I meant it when I said it but the truth is i lied
    is it asking to much to forget and forgive
    Dying for your love
    Is no way to live
    and the truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought
    this battle is harder
    Than any war that we've fought
    I said I could just push your memory aside
    I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
    Oh, I meant it when I said it, the truth is I lied

    So forget what I told you ,the truth is I lied

    I know you weren't expecting this visit from me

    ----------
    Is it asking too much to forget and forgive?
    Dying for your love is no way to live
    And the truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought
    This battle is harder than any war that we've fought

    I said I could just push your memory aside

    Oh, I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied.....
