She'd come home at 6 a.m., tell me she'd been out with friends, and I let her lie, I let her lie.
And in the blaze of the morning sun, she swore I was her only one, and I let her lie, I let her lie.
Cause the truth was too hard to handle, and I couldn't wait to lose that girl.
We were that small town's girl, she was my only one.
One teary night, she confessed her sins, but she vowed to never change, and I let her lie, I let her lie.
Oh, she tried hard, but she could not change, and I only had myself to blame, cause I let her lie, I let her lie.

We were that small town's girl, she swore I was her only one, and I couldn't wait to lose that girl, and I couldn't wait to lose that girl.
Cause the truth was too hard to handle, and I couldn't wait to lose that girl.





Couldn't bear to lose that girl
We were that small town scandal
But she was my only world
The day I left, no words were said
She was sound asleep on our double bed
So I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
I let her lie
