The Truth Is I Lied – Gene Watson

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 can’t 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 came here to tell you
The truth is I lied

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
And 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 but the truth is I lied
