The Day I Learned To Lie To You

(专辑： Lamentations - 2020)

I told you the day we met
That I'd never make you regret
Choosing me to stand by your side
And I swear I had an honest plan
To make myself an honest man
But the ones best-laid often go awry

And I know good and well
That I'm going straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps me up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you

See I've long set fire to things I love
Told myself I don't deserve
To ever have and hold that kind of glory
But I'll come back in a couple days
To search the ash and memories
And start painting my side of the story

And I know good and well
That I'm going straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps me up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you

The lies, they started short and small
But then they grew up big and tall
Like that old oak tree out in our front yard
Then without warning, late last May
A branch, it snapped and then gave way
And tumbled down and tore our home apart
Yeah, it tumbled down and tore right through your heart

And I lied when I told you I was different
And I lied when I told you I could change
Now I'm stuck in Kansas City wishing that I could go back to
The day I learned how to lie to you
To the day I learned how to lie to you
To the day I learned how to lie to you
