Testo The day i learned to lie to you American Aquarium

The day i learned to lie to you

I told you the day we met
That I'd never make you regret
Choosing me to stand by your side
And I swear I had an honest plan
To make myself an honest man
But the ones best-laid often go awry

And I know good and well
That I'm goin' straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps my up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you

I've long set fire to things I love
Told myself I don't deserve
To ever have and hold that kind of glory
But I'll come back in a couple days
To search the ash and memory
And start paintin' my side of the story

And I know good and well
That I'm goin' straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps my up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you

For the lies, they started short and small
But then they grew up big and tall
Like that old oak tree out in our front yard
And without warning, late last May
A branch, it snapped and then gave way
It tumbled down and tore our home apart
Yeah, it tumbled down and tore right through your heart

And I know good and well
That I'm goin' straight to hell
For all the things I put you through
Yes, my biggest regret in life
The thing that keeps my up at night
The day I learned how to lie to you
