Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris] I probably should have told her the sky was falling Or maybe, that my car ran out of gas My grandma was sick and I had to leave town right away Not okay Tell one more to fix the last one But I never get back to the truth Thinking to myself she'll never find out That's what we do (That's what we do) That's how we do (That's how we do) [Pre-Chorus 1: Wanyá Morris] I wonder what she really thinks of me Shouldn't really told her everything But it's too late Can't take it back She'll never look at me the same way again Noooooo [Chorus: Boyz II Men] (I shoulda lied) 'Cause the truth made her set me free (And now goodbye) Is more than just a word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would have made things right this time Shoulda lied Shoulda lied [Verse 2: Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman] Shoulda said it was the end of the world But sadly it's my reality Would she stay if I said I only had one day left Stay with me (Stay with me) Please don't leave (Please don't leave) [Pre-Chorus 2: Wanyá Morris] I wonder what she really thinks of me I wish I would have never said a thing But it's too late for that I don't think she's coming back And I'll never look at truth the same again [Chorus: Boyz II Men] (I shoulda lied) Cause the truth made her set me free (And now goodbye) Is more than just a word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would have made things right this time Shoulda lied Shoulda lied [Bridge: Wanyá Morris] Now I'm trying hard to convince my heart That everything would be okay She said she'll never leave And I just can't believe she's gone And now I know [Chorus: Boyz II Men] (I shoulda lied) Cause the truth made her set me free (And now goodbye) Is more than just a word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would have made things right this time I shoulda lied [Outro: Boyz II Men] And now goodbye Promise myself next time I won't tell the truth Cuz If I knew what I knew right now I'll still be with you I shoulda lied Shoulda lied I shoulda lied Shoulda lied
