[Verse 1]
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 low
Morning sun's cast some shadows with questions inside
So truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light

[Chorus]
Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be vour whipping 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
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinking' bout thinking' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me kept spelling' out the truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

[Verse 2]
Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky
It was blocking' my view so I steered that thought aside
Now the morning 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 vour whipping 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
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinking' bout thinking' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me kept spelling' out the truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied
[Outro]
Truth is I lied
