You heard what? Well it ain't true I was here most all last night I got over you the day you left Could it be somebody lied They said what? That I was cryin'? I haven't shed a tear in years That I spoke your name? Well that's insane I hardly noticed your not here That I showed your picture To some stranger Don't you think I got no pride They've been here at home Face down on a shelf Lord I bet somebody lied But if they were true What would it matter to you? Would it change the way you feel? If the rumors were right Would you be here tonight? To help this old heart heal Well don't worry It wasn't me Just someone who's world Was torn in two Someone who looks a lot like me And loves someone like you So forget the tears I never cried Lord I bet somebody lied
