Did I say I wouldn't be hurt if our love just didn't work? Did I say that I'd be okay if you said good-bye? And did I promise you I could take it if we were through, And forget about these feelings inside? Baby I lied When I told you I could walk away Baby I lied And forget about the love we made. I swear on my heart I was telling the truth at the time. Baby I lied. Baby I lied. And did I ever tell myself I could always find someone else? Did I say if you left today itd be no surprise? Did I ever leave any doubt I could hold up if you walked out? I know I told you that I could survive. Baby I lied When I told you I could walk away Baby I lied And forget about the love we made I swear on my heart I was telling the truth at the time Baby I lied. Baby I lied. And now that I can see you walking out of my life Saying good-bye, I realize, baby, baby, baby
