Mama I Lied

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama, I lied when I was sixteen I said the bottle ain't mine and I'll never smoke weed Now I've grown up you'd think things have changed Hurts me just as much to say they're the same [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 hopin' you couldn't tell He was stealin' my spark walkin' me straight through hell [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
