Billy Ray Cyrus

Truth Is, I Lied

Scratched a heart on your door

Then I showed myself outside

Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse

And rode off in the night

Guess you noticed I'm gone

And the low morning sun's

Cast some shadows with questions inside

So the truth's in this letter

At dawn will shed a new light

Truth is I lied when I said

I'd always be your whippin' pet

I lied when I said

"I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess"

When I pleaded and stated

I needed you just to survive

Truth is last night when you

Tore my heart apart my mind began

Never thinkin' 'bout thinkin' like your fool again

And a freedom that filled me

Kept spelling out truth as I'd write

Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you

Where the highway touched the sky

It was blockin' my view

So I steered that thought aside

Now the morning and me ride

A cold memory past tomorrow to some other town

Where we'll never care whether

This truth was lost or found
