I told a lie, I told a great big fucking lie
made you come over to drive him home that night
while we were getting drunk and he was getting high
and I lied and said I loved you while I touched her thighs
and it wasn't true, baby, it was far from true
when you went out of town, and I said that I missed you
I am so ashamed, what an awful thing to do
but as soon as you were gone, I made my move
and I know someday you'll find out what went down
can't keep a secret in this town
sooner or later word gets around around around
I let you go, yeah I know I let you go
and it was because I just couldn't let you know
all of those things that my bedroom mirror showed
so I told you it was nothing personal
