I Should Have Lied

Just a cup of coffee
We said we'd meet at ten
I thought you knew me well enough
To know I'd probably sleep in
When I finally got there
I told the truth it made you cry
I should have lied

I forgot your birthday
It was stored within my Palm
I know it was quite thoughtless
I just forgot to turn it on
You said it didn't matter
But then you turned and I saw you sigh
I should have lied

(bridge 1)
I wish I hadn't said that
I wish you hadn't cried
I wish I hadn't told
 I should have lied

Don't wanna hurt you Baby
But the pain is etched on your face
They say the truth will set you free
Not in this case
I never gave you false hope
That cuts you deep I can't deny
I should have lied

(bridge2)
I should have said I got stuck in traffic
I have your gift  sitting at home
Should have said my Palm Pilot was broken
I'm so weak I should left you alone
I should have lied
