The greatest lie I've ever told
Was spoken when I was just eighteen years old
I thought it was the right thing to say
Even if it left everything we had this way
I hoped it would send you else where
My wish was granted, you weren't there
The greatest lie I've ever told
Came out in a tone so cold
I couldn't leave you wanting me
I should've thought twice about ending 'we'
You were broken in the blink of an eye
My heart lost in the bed where I lye
The greatest lie I've ever told
You heard it at eighteen years old
It was the worst thing you could hear
Your face full of the most genuine tears
You had hoped I'd still love you
And your wish was granted, I still do
The greatest lie I've ever told
Was spoken when I was just eighteen years old
Time has passed and I can hardly sleep
Everyday since, you can hear me weep
You'll find someone better for you
I'll hope and pray, because I love you
