Mama I Lied
Mama, I lied when I was 16
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
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
