Megan Moroney - Mama I Lied Lyrics

Mama, I lied when I was sixteen
I said the bottle ain't mine
And I'll never smoke weed
Now I've grown up
You'd think things have changed
Hurts me just as much
To say they're the same

Mama, I lied
He ain't a good guy
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
I'm not sure why it took all this time
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
So mama, I lied

I'd wipe the tears as quick as they'd fall
Say everything's fine every time that you'd call
And I'd swear he's perfect
Hoping you couldn't tell
He was stealing my spark
Walking me straight through hell

Mama, I lied
He ain't a good guy
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
I'm not sure why it took all this time
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
So mama, I lied

You said, when somebody shows you who they really are
You better believe 'em
So I painted him the only way I thought you and I
Would wanna see him

Mama, I lied
He ain't a good guy
He makes me cry sometimes out of the blue
I'm not sure why it took all this time
I was afraid of what you'd say to do
Guess I wasn't ready yet to hear the hard truth
But I can't hide it anymore, I really need you
Mama, I lied
Mama, I lied
