Mama I Lied

[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
