I Let Her Lie

I Let Her Lie
She’d come home six a.m.
Tell me she’d been out with friends
And I let her lie, I let her lie
And in the glare of the morning sun
She swore I was her only one
And I let her lie, I let her lie

Cos the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn’t bear to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal
But she was my only world
One teary night she confessed her sins
But she vowed to never cheat again
And I let her lie, I let her lie
Though she tried, Lord she could not change
And I only held myself to blame
Cos I let her lie, I let her lie
Cos the truth was too hard to handle
And I couldn’t bear to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal
But she was my only world
The day I left, no words were said
She was sound asleep on our double bed
And I let her lie, I let her lie
I let her lie, I let her lie
