TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, I LIED

Words and Music by
Carol Stone and Mickey McBride

Verse 1

WHEN I RAN INTO YOU YESTERDAY,

I SAID I�D BEEN FINE SINCE WE WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS,

THE PAIN IN MY HEART, I�D MANAGED TO HIDE,

BUT, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I LIED,

Chorus

I LIED WHEN I SAID I WAS OVER YOU,

I LIED WHEN I SAID I HAD FOUND SOMEBODY NEW,

I DIDN�T WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH I HURT INSIDE,

SO, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I LIED,

Verse 2

WHEN I TOLD YOU I�D FOUND SOMEONE NEW,

WHO MADE ME FEEL GOOD JUST THE WAY YOU USED TO DO,

MY EYES HELD THE TEARS I�D HIDDEN INSIDE,

�CAUSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I LIED,

Chorus (Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3

I DON�T KNOW HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU,

WE SHARED A SPECIAL LOVE, NOW I DON�T KNOW WHAT TO DO,

I�LL PICK UP THE PHONE AND SWALLOW MY PRIDE,

�CAUSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I LIED,

Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
