Song Lyrics

How you goin' do that to me? (sigh)
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 goin' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth goin' make me cry
I rather just live a lie

If a lie goin' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth goin' make me cry
I rather just live a lie

I wish I never ever saw you that night
Rite now I'd still be thinking 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 would of called your phone up
Never would of dialed your number
Never would of gotten that drunk
If I could go back in time
I never would of gotten that tore
Never would of asked for one more
Never would of walked through your door

If a lie goin' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth goin' make me cry
I rather just live a lie

If a lie goin' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth goin' make me cry
I rather just live a lie

Easier to live
Like you don't see nothing
Even tho it ain't rite
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 living a lie

Just gotta know
Whatever you do
It's goin' come back to you
I cant' believe this

If a lie goin' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth goin' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
