Lyrics
I said it was over
I declared that our relationship was over.
I said we were through
I asserted that we were finished as a couple.
I said when I left I
I claimed that when I left, my love for you was over.
Was done loving you
I stated that I was finished loving you.
But I'm fighting a feeling
I am struggling with an emotion that I can't ignore.
That can't be denied
I acknowledged a feeling that is hard to resist.
Forget what I told you
Disregard what I previously told you.
The truth is I lied
Confession: I was not truthful; I lied.
I know you weren't expectin'
I understand you didn't anticipate a visit from me.
This visit from me
Surprising you with my presence.
With my hat in my hand and
I come humbly, with regret (hat in hand, heart on sleeve).
My heart on my sleeve
I stopped pretending and am genuine about my feelings.
But I've stopped my pretending
I dropped the act and swallowed my pride.
And I've swallowed my pride
Admitting vulnerability by saying the truth.
I'm not above saying
Expressing that I am not too proud to admit the truth.
The truth is I lied
Reiterating that I lied, being honest now.
The truth is I'm not quite as strong as
Confession of emotional weakness.
I thought this battle is harder
Acknowledging that the emotional struggle is tough.
Than an war that we've fought
Comparing the emotional battle to a challenging war.
I said I could just push your memory aside
I initially believed I could easily forget you.
I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
Admitting that my earlier statement was false.
Is it asking to much to forget and forgive
Questioning if it's too much to ask for forgiveness.
Dying for your love
Expressing that sacrificing for love is not a fulfilling life.
Is no way to live
Realizing the toll of sacrificing for love.
And the truth is I'm just not as strong as I thought
Reiterating emotional vulnerability.
This battle is harder
Re-emphasizing the difficulty of the emotional battle.
Than any war that we've fought
Comparing emotional struggles to past wars.
I said I could just push your memory aside
Repeating the false claim of easily pushing memories aside.
I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
Admitting the earlier statement about pushing memories aside was untrue.
Oh, I meant it when I said it, the truth is ......I lied
Final affirmation that the initial statement about pushing memories aside was a lie.
