In this song Jazmine describes a scene of betrayal where she drunkenly walks in on her significant other cheating on her with someone else. She describes the heartache she’s going through, wishing she never saw them that night and would rather “live a lie”.
How you gon' do that to me...?
I can't believe this...
I wish I never ever got drunk that night
Made me foolish enough to come to your crib
Walked up the stairs and then I turned on the lights
Couldn't even speak because it happened so quick
I wish I never saw your punk ass that night
You always seem to calm me down with your lies
Even though I know better I try and I try
But you always have the perfect alibi
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
I wish I never ever saw u that night
Right now I'd still be thinkin' we were OK
I called you just before I got on my flight
I say "I love you," And you tell me the same
If I could go back in time
I never woulda called your phone up
Never woulda dialed your number
Never woulda gotten that drunk
If I could go back in time
I never woulda gotten that tore
Never woulda asked for one more
Never woulda walked through your door
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
Easier to live
Like you don't see nuttin'
Even tho it ain't right
Harder to turn over in your bed and he ain't by your side
I think if I didn't walk in that night
And see you with my own eyes
I would still be livin' a lie
Just gotta know
Whatever you do
It's gon' come back to you
I can't believe this...
If a lie go'n get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
