I said I was doing fine without you
I don't really need you around
But when I wait for every night
To pass on soon
I realise, I lied.
You said we were not supposed to be
And I believed you were right
I believed you all the way
And said I was fine
But guess what, I lied.
I said you were just a pain
You had to get away from me
But now that I miss
Every sweet thing you did
I know, I lied.
But babe, I can't make you love me
So I just let you do what you wanted
I said its okay if you walk away
Its all your choice
And it breaks my heart to say tonight
Yes, I lied.
And today
As I stand here in the rain
Watching you walk away
The only thing I said was "goodbye"
But this time
I can't hold it back
You can't see me cry
Because the sky and I cry together.
But still I want you to turn around
Look at me and realise,
And listen to these voices inside my head
Screaming "Babe, you only heard my goodbye
But you failed to hear my heart
Saying, 'I Lied.' "
