Did I say I wouldn't be hurt if our love just didn't work?
Did I say that I'd be okay if you said good-bye?
And did I promise you
I could take it if we were through
And forget about these feelings inside?
Baby I lied
When I told you I could walk away
Baby I lied
And forget about the love we made
I swear on my heart
I was telling the truth at the time
Baby I lied
Baby I lied
And did I ever tell myself
I could always find someone else?
Did I say if you left today it'd be no surprise?
Did I ever leave any doubt
I could hold up if you walked out?
I know I told you that I could survive
Baby I lied
When I told you I could walk away
Baby I lied
And forget about the love we made
I swear on my heart
I was telling the truth at the time
Baby I lied
Baby I lied
And now that I can see you walking out of my life
Saying good-bye
I realize
Baby, baby, baby
(Baby I lied)
Don't believe a word I said before
(Baby I lied)
Believe me when I say I love you more
When I said I was sure
I could live without you by my side
Baby I lied
Baby I lied
(Baby I lied)
Baby I lied
(Baby I lied)
Baby I lied
(Baby I lied)
