Scratched a heart on your door then I showed myself outside,
Lashed my soul 'cross this twin V horse and rode off in the night.
Guess you've noticed I'm gone, and the low morning sun's,
Casting shadows with questions inside,
So the truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light.

Chorus:
Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be your whipping pet,
I lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt, I guess,
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive,
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart,
My mind began never thinking about thinking like a fool again,
And the freedom that filled me kept spilling out truth as I'd write,
Truth is I lied.

Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky,
It was blocking my view so I steered the thought aside,
Now the morning and me ride a cold memory,
Past tomorrow to some other time,
Where we'll never care whether the truth was lost or found.

Repeat Chorus
