I swore that I′d become a better man for you, and I tried

Tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow

I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you, but it diedTold you I could never love somebody else, but I lied

Ooh, I lied

Ooh, I lied

I told you I'd be coming back again for you, but I′m not

Going way out where the world will never find me

I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride

Told you I would never leave you all alone, but I lied

I read your letter in the morning by the lake, and I cried

They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken

I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die

Told you I could never live without your love, but I lied

Ooh, I lied

Ooh, I lied

Ooh, I lied

Ooh, I lied

Ooh, I lied

Ooh, I lied
