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'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
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

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
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
That the truth is I lied
