I told a lie, I told a great big fucking lie

made you come over to drive him home that night

while we were getting drunk and he was getting high

and I lied and said I loved you while I touched her thighs

and it wasn't true, baby, it was far from true

when you went out of town, and I said that I missed you

I am so ashamed, what an awful thing to do

but as soon as you were gone, I made my move

and I know someday you'll find out what went down

can't keep a secret in this town

sooner or later word gets around around around

I let you go, yeah I know I let you go

and it was because I just couldn't let you know

all of those things that my bedroom mirror showed

so I told you it was nothing personal
