Lord Huron & Allison Ponthier – I Lied Lyrics

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

Oooh, I lied
Oooh, 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

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

Oooh, I lied
Oooh, I lied
Oooh, I lied
Oooh, I lied
Oooh, I lied
Oooh, I lied
