I Let Her Lie

She'd come home, 6 a.m.

Tell me she'd been out with friends

And I let her lie

I let her lie

And in the glare of the morning sun

She swore I was her only one

And I let her lie

I let her lie

'Cause the truth was too hard to handle

And I couldn't bare to lose that girl

We were that small town scandal but

She was my only world

One teary night, she confessed her sins

But she vowed to never 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 bare to lose that girl

We were that small town scandal 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
