I Told a Lie to My Heart

Willie Nelson · Half Nelson [1985]

I told my heart I didn't love you that I'd be happy if we'd part

But now I know I was mistaken I told a lie to my heart

I told my heart I didn't love you now we'll forever be apart

Lonely years of tears and sorrow I told a lie to my heart

[ guitar ]

If we sin somehow we pay and now the bitter teardrops start

I must learn to live without you I told a lie to my heart

I told my heart I didn't love you that I'll be happy if we'll part

Lonely years of tears and sorrow I told a lie to my heart
