You Should Have Lied Lyrics - Tightrope - Stephanie Mcintosh

It doesn't matter 

That you had the courage to tell me 

The easy way out 

Was to free up your guilt, laid it on me 

What do I care? 

If it didn't really mean a thing why'd you do it? 

I'm standing here 

Looking at someone who doesn't 

Know they blew it, yeah 

[Chorus] 

You should have lied 

Cause' your stupid mistake 

Made my world crash down 

Now its goodbye 

No you can't take it back 

Once the truth has come out of your mouth 

So you tried to be honest 

But honesty blew it this time 

You should have lied 

If a tree falls inside of a forest and nobody hears it 

It wont affect anybody 'cause no one will miss it 

What would I care 

If you were dying from the guilt of keeping a secret? 

This isn't fair 

'cause now I've gotta be the one dealing with it, oh 

[Chorus] 

I don't get it 

Where was your conscience when 

You were with her 

Couldn't you hear it scream out? 

[Chorus] 

It doesn't matter 

That you had the courage to tell me
