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 expecting 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'm not above saying the truth is I lied

The truth is I'm not quite as strong as I thought
This battle is harder than any war that we fought
I said I could just push your mem'ry aside
And I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied

Is it asking too much to forget and forgive
Dying for your love is no way to live

And the truth is I'm not quite as strong as I thought...
Oh I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
