Mama, I Lied Paroles

Hurts me just as much
To say they're the same

Mama, I lied
He ain't a good guy
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
I'm not sure why
It took all this time
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
So Mama, I lied

I'd wipe the tears
As quick as they'd fall
Say everything's fine every time that you'd call
And I'd swear he's perfect
Hoping you couldn't tell
He was stealing my spark
Walking me straight through hell
It took all this time
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
So Mama, I lied

You said when somebody shows you who they really are
You better believe 'em
So I painted him the only way I thought you and I
Would wanna see him

Mama, I lied
He ain't a good guy
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
I'm not sure why
It took all this time
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
And I can't hide it anymore, I really need you
Mama, I lied
Mama, I lied
