Lyrics
SOMEONE WAS LYING
©2011 Robert “Jim” Allard and Tim Wheeler
VERSE 1
I was down to the courthouse
For doing eighty in a fifty-five
Saw a couple getting their divorce
Watched the lawyers divvy up their lives
Tried to picture them in tux and gown
On the day they wed
I could hear them as they pledged their vows
But does it matter what they said (‘cause)
CHORUS
Someone was lyin‘
Not telling the truth
Someone quit tryin’
To do the things they said they’d do
You can say they got lazy
Or forgot what was right
They can try to deny it, but don’t go buyin’ it
Someone was lyin’
VERSE 2
It got me thinking about you
Wondering how it all went so wrong
How we used to be so in love
And then one day you were gone
I was lookin’ right in your eyes
As you promised your heart
Guess it should come as no surprise
That it all came apart (‘cause)
CHORUS
Bridge
Someone lost track of what love’s s’posed to be
Though they hate to admit it - that someone was me... (and)
CHORUS
