She'd come home, 6am
And tell me she'd been out with friends
And I let her lie
I let her lie
In the glare of the morning sun
She swore I was the only one
And I let her lie
I let her lie

'Cause the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn't bear to lose that girl
We were that small town scandle
But she was my only world

One teary night she confessed her sins
But she vowed never to cheat again
And I let her lie
I let her lie
Though she tried, Lord she could not change
And I only have myself to blame
'Cause I let her lie
I let her lie

'Cause the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn't bear to lose that girl
We were that small town scandle
But she was my only world

The day I left no words were said
She was sound asleep on our double bed
And I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
