Steven W Young - I Lied Lyrics

I lied and I broke your heart
Built this house then I tore it apart
I lied when you called me out
I wasn't there when it needed to count

I lied just to bury the pain
Because the truth would hurt much more
Sorrow and shame will be all that remains
When the lies take away your soul

I lied when I got caught
Stealing just for the thrill that I got
I lied when I took the oath
Even though I knew it damaged us both

I lied so many times
That the truth was hard to find
I lied out of habit and fear
With intentions that were quite clear

I lied just to bury the pain
Because the truth would hurt much more
Sorrow and shame will be all that remains
When the lies take away your soul

I lied with intent to deceive
You'll soon forget what you did believe
I'll light up the night with that burning gaslight
'Till the lies are all you see
