INTRO:        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 old mornin’ sun’s castin’ shadows with questions inside So the truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light     CHORUS: Truth is I lied when I said I’d always be your whippin’ pet I lied when I said I didn’t mind the hurt I guess When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive (I lied) Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began Never thinkin’ ’bout thinkin’ like your fool again And the freedom that filled me kept spellin’ 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 mornin’ and me ride a cold memory past tomorrow to some other town Where we’ll never care whether this truth was lost or found   CHORUS: 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 (I lied) Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began Never thinkin’ ’bout thinkin’ like your fool again And the freedom that filled me kept spellin’ out truth as I’d write Truth is I lied...         Truth is I lied...
