Mama, I lied when I was sixteen I said the bottle ain´t mine and I´ll never smoke weed Now I´ve grown up you´d think things have changed Hurts me just as much to say they´re the same
Mama, I lied he ain´t a good guy He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue I´m not sure why it took all this time I was afraid of what you´d say to do Guess I wasn´t ready yet to hear the hard truth So, Mama, I lied
I´d wipe the tears as quick as they´d fall Say everything´s fine every time that you´d call And I´d swear he´s perfect hopin´ you couldn´t tell He was stealin´ my spark walkin´ me straight through hell
Mama, I lied he ain´t a good guy He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue I´m not sure why it took all this time
I was afraid of what you´d say to do Guess I wasn´t ready yet to hear the hard truth So, Mama, I lied
You said when somebody shows you who they really are You better believe ´em So I painted him the only way I thought you and I Would wanna see him
Mama, I lied he ain´t a good guy He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue I´m not sure why it took all this time I was afraid of what you´d say to do Guess I wasn´t ready yet to hear the hard truth And I can´t hide it anymore, I really need you Mama, I lied Mama, I lied
