The Truth Is I Lied Lyrics - Singles - Billy Joe Royal

It's been twenty-four hours 

Since you walked away 

If I knew where to call you 

I know just what I'd say 

I'd tell you, I'm sorry I hurt you 

And I know that I went too far this time 

When I said, I don't love you 

The truth is I lied 

I should have been more careful 

With your tender heart 

When I said all those mean things 

Words that tore you apart 

Like I don't want you, I don't need you 

I didn't mean it, it was only my pride 

When I said, I don't love you 

The truth is I lied
