THE TRUTH IS I LIED

Writers Bill Anderson, Skip Ewing

RECORDED BY GENE WATSON AND BY RICOCHET





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
