You Lied

You Lied
Verse 1
I remember the night that I met you,
Friday night, neon shining bright.
You spilled your drink all over my shirt,
Then kissed me like you meant it from the start.
You were dancing like you owned that floor,
I was falling and I wanted more.
You smiled at me, said, “Come on, let's go,”
I should've known what I know now.
Pre-Chorus
We laughed, we danced, we drank that stormy night away,
You came back to my place and stayed.
Chorus
You lied, you lied, you lied,
And I cried, I cried, I cried.
I thought what we had was the real thing,
Thought I finally found my wedding ring.
But when the morning sun came through,
There wasn't any sign of you.
Now I'm walking underneath these lonely skies,
Trying to forget those pretty blue eyes.
Baby, you left me in a mess,
And I still can't forget your kiss.
Verse 2
You asked me if I had some coffee,
Then you curled up close beside me.
You looked me in the eyes, turned off your phone,
Made me feel like I wasn't alone.
We talked about dreams until the night was gone,
I thought we'd wake up together at dawn.
But when I opened up my eyes,
You were gone without goodbye.
Pre-Chorus
I called your number, heard that old dead tone,
That's when I knew I was sleeping alone.
Chorus
You lied, you lied, you lied,
And I cried, I cried, I cried.
I thought what we had was the real thing,
Thought I finally found my wedding ring.
But when the morning sun came through,
There wasn't any sign of you.
Now I'm walking underneath these lonely skies,
Trying to forget those pretty blue eyes.
Baby, you left me in a mess,
And I still can't forget your kiss.
Verse 3
I thought you loved me, God, how wrong could I be?
You only wanted one night, not forever with me.
I gave you my heart, you gave me your lies,
Then left me standing underneath the morning sky.
I guess Mama saw it coming all along,
She used to tell me, “Son, you're loving the wrong ones.”
She's gone now, but I hear her voice,
Every time I make another bad choice.
Verse 4
Now I drive from Dakota to Arizona,
Truck wheels rolling underneath that big blue sky.
I've seen a thousand pretty faces
And a hundred pairs of those same blue eyes.
Sure, there are women at the truck stops,
And some of them will ride along.
But none of them can make me feel
The way you did before you were gone.
Bridge
Friday night, I'm back in that bar,
Neon burning like a falling star.
Jack Daniels warming up my hand,
Country music playing with the band.
I see a pretty girl walk through the door,
She's got that same old smile I can't ignore.
For a second I forget your name,
Then I laugh and say, “Here we go again.”
Final Chorus
You lied, you lied, you lied,
But I survived, I survived, I survived.
I thought losing you would break my heart,
But sometimes losing someone is the place you start.
Now I'm walking underneath a brand-new sky,
And I don't need those pretty blue eyes.
Yeah, you left me with a broken heart,
But broken hearts can make a man restart.
Baby, I ain't crying anymore,
I'm walking right back through that barroom door.
Outro
There's a girl out there dancing on the floor,
And this time I ain't looking for what I had before.
Maybe she'll love me, maybe she'll leave too,
But one thing's certain — she won't be you.
No, she won't be you.
And that's just fine with me.
