Daryle Singletary - I Let Her Lie lyrics

She'd come home, 6 am

Tells me she'd been out with friends

And I let her lie

I let her lie

And in the glare of the morning sun

She swore I was her only one

And I let her lie

I let her lie

Cause the truth was too hard to handle and I couldn't bare to lose that girl

We were that small town scandal but,

She was my only world

one teary night she confessed her sins

But she vowed to never cheat again

And I let her lie

I let her lie

Though she tried lord, she could not change

And I only have myself to blame 

Cause I let her lie

I let her lie

Cause the truth was too hard to handle and I couldn't bare to lose that girl

We were that small town scandal but,

She was my only world

The day I left no words were said

She was sound asleep on our double bed 

And I let her lie

I let her lie

I let her lie

I let her lie
