I said it was over, I [A] said we were [E] through.
I said when I left I was done loving [B]
you.
But [E] I'm fighting a feeling [A] that can't be [E] denied.
So forget what I [C#m] told you, [B] the truth is I [E] lied.
I know you weren't expecting [A] this visit [E] from me.
With my hat in my [C#m] hand and [B] my heart on my sleeve.
[E] I've stopped my pretending and I've [A] swallowed my [E] pride.
I came here to [C#m] tell you [B] the truth is I [E] lied.
The [A] truth is I'm just not [E] as strong as I thought.
This [C#m] battle is harder than any [B] war that you fought.
[A] I said I could just push your [E]
memory aside.
[C#m]
And [E] I meant what I [C#m] said it, but the [B] truth is I [E]
lied.
Is [D] it acting too much [A] to [E] forget and forgive?
[D] Dying for [C#m] your love [B] is no way to live.
And the [A] truth is I'm just not as [E] strong as I thought.
This [C#m] battle is harder than any [B] war that you fought.
I [A] said I could just push your [E] memory [C#m] aside.
And [E] I meant what [C#m] I said it, but [B] the truth is I [E] lied.
Oh, I meant it when [C#m] I said it, but the [B] truth is I lied.
