I swore that I'd become a better man for you, and I tried
Tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow
I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you, but it died
Told you I could never love somebody else, but I lied

(Ooh-ooh) mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
(Ooh-ooh) mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied

I told you I'd be coming back again for you, but I'm not
Going way out where the world will never find me
I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride
Told you I would never leave you all alone, but I lied

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

I read your letter in the morning by the lake, and I cried
They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken
I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die
Told you I could never live without your love, but I lied

Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied

Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
