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
And I don't care

Tell one more to fix the last one
But I'll never get back to the truth
Thinking to myself she'll never find out
That's what we do, that's how we do

I wonder what she really thinks of me
Should've had really told her everything
But it's too late, can't take it back
She'll never look at me in the same way again, no

I shoulda lied 'cause the truth made her to set me free
And now goodbye is more than just the word
My honesty just became my enemy
Maybe a lie would've made things right this time
Shoulda lied, shoulda lied

Should've said it was the end of the world
Now sadly it's my reality
Would she stay if I said I only had one day left
Stay with me, please don't leave

I wonder what she really thinks of me
I wish I wouldn't if I said a thing

But it's too late for that
And I don't think she's coming back
And I'll never look the truth the same again

I shoulda lied 'cause the truth made her to set me free
And now goodbye is more than just the word
My honesty just became my enemy
Maybe a lie would've made things right this time
Shoulda lied, shoulda lied

Now I'm trying hard to convince my heart
That everything will be okay
She said she'd never leave
And I just can't believe she's gone
And now I know why

I shoulda lied 'cause the truth made her to set me free, yeah
And now goodbye is more than just the word
My honesty just became my enemy
Maybe a lie would've made things right this time
I should've lied and now goodbye

Promised myself next time I won't tell the truth
'Cause if I knew what I knew right now I'd still be with you
I shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied, shoulda lied
