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 doesn't change a thing
I was such a fool and now
I pay for being so naïve
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 it's 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
