Boyz II Men - I Shoulda Lied lyrics

I probably should have told her the sky was falling Or maybe that my car ran out of gas My grandma was sick and I had to leave town right away Not ok Tell one more to fix the last one But I never get back to the truth Thinking to myself she'll never find out That's what we do (That's what we do) That's how we do (That's how we do) I wonder what she really thinks of me Shouldn't really told her everything But it's too late Can't take it back She'll never look at me the same way again noooooo (I shoulda lied) Cuz the truth may not set me free (And now goodbye) Is more than just a word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would have made things right this time Shoulda lied Shoulda lied Shoulda said it was the end of the world But sadly it's my reality Would she stay if I said I only had one day left Stay with me (Stay with me) Please don't leave (Please don't leave) I wonder what she really thinks of me I wish I would have never said a thing But it's too late for that I don't think she's coming back And I'll never look at truth the same again (I shoulda lied) Cuz the truth may not set me free (And now goodbye) Is more than just a word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would have made things right this time Shoulda lied Shoulda lied Now I'm trying hard to convince my heart That everything would be ok She said she'll never leave and I just can't believe she's gone And now I know (I shoulda lied) Cuz the truth may not set me free (And now goodbye) Is more than just a word My honesty just became my enemy Maybe a lie would have made things right this time I Shoulda lied And now goodbye Promise myself next time I won't tell the truth Cuz If I knew what I knew right now I'll still be with you I shoulda lied Shoulda lied I shoulda lied Should lied
