I told you the day we met
That I'd never make you regret
Choosing me to stand by your side
Swear I had an honest plan
To make myself an honest man
But the ones best-laid often go awry
And I know good and well
That I'm goin' straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps me up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you
See, I've long set fire to things I love
Told myself I don't deserve
To ever have and hold that kind of glory
But I'll come back in a couple days
To search the ash and memories
And start paintin' my side of the story
And I know good and well
That I'm goin' straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps me up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you
ย
The lies, they started short and small
But then they grew up big and tall
Like that old oak tree out in our front yard
And without warning, late last May
A branch, it snapped and then gave way
It tumbled down and tore our home apart
Yeah, it tumbled down and tore right through your heart
And I lied when I told you I was different
I lied when I told you I could change
Now I'm stuck in Kansas City
Wishing I could go back to
The day I learned how to lie to you
Oh, the day I learned how to lie to you
Yeah, the day I learned how to lie to you
