Live a Lie Lyrics
How you gonna do that to me?
I can't believe this
I wish I never ever got drunk that night
Made me foolish enough to come to your crib
Walked up the stairs and then I turned on the lights
Couldn't even speak because it happened so quick
I wish I never saw your punk ass that night
You always seems to calm me down with your lies
Even though I know better, I try and I try
But you always have the perfect alibi
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
I wish I never ever saw you that night
Right now I'd still be thinkin' we were ok
I called you just before I got on my flight
I say "I love you" and you tell me the same
If I could go back in time
I never woulda called your phone up
Never woulda dialed your number
Never woulda gotten that drunk
If I could go back in time
I never woulda gotten that tore
Never woulda asked for one more
Never woulda walked through your door
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
Easier to live
Like you don't see nothin'
Even though it ain't right
Harder to turn over in your bed and he ain't by your side
I think if I didn't walk in that night
And see you with my own eyes
I would still be livin' a lie
Just gotta know
Whatever you do
It's gon' come back to you
I can't believe this
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
If a lie gon' get me through
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
I can't believe this
Made me foolish enough to come to your crib
Walked up the stairs and then I turned on the lights
Couldn't even speak because it happened so quick
You always seems to calm me down with your lies
Even though I know better, I try and I try
But you always have the perfect alibi
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
Right now I'd still be thinkin' we were ok
I called you just before I got on my flight
I say "I love you" and you tell me the same
I never woulda called your phone up
Never woulda dialed your number
Never woulda gotten that drunk
I never woulda gotten that tore
Never woulda asked for one more
Never woulda walked through your door
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
Like you don't see nothin'
Even though it ain't right
Harder to turn over in your bed and he ain't by your side
I think if I didn't walk in that night
And see you with my own eyes
I would still be livin' a lie
Whatever you do
It's gon' come back to you
I can't believe this
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie
I rather not know the truth
If the truth gon' make me cry
I rather just live a lie

I'm still kinda lost as to the true meaning of this song, but it could be she got drunk, hooked up with an ex & regretted it? I dunno. Just my interpretation.
Na she knew she was being cheated on but didnt want to belive it. but after drinking 1 nite she decides to find out truth so she goes to his house and saw him in bed. so now she wishes she could still live in the lie so she could keep her man
