(Verse 1) It's not a lie to say that I shoulda never fell for you. The time was wrong, you came along, just like a dream come true. You were tied to someone too and didn't plan to fall. Was it love, infatuation, or the newness of it all? (Verse 2) We always knew the day would come. We knew it couldn't last. Our time would end and we'd descend to the black hole of the past. Wanted just to tell you I'd never go away. Then you go and ask me for the one thing I can't say: Chorus 1 Just say it didn't mean a thing, that it was just a fling. I can't ease the pain of this farewell, The sweetest lie I'll never tell. (Verse 3) A fool pretends when loving ends they left without a scar. They think the past stays in the past, not part of who we are. Nefarious to bury us and trample on the ground. An ember of your memory will always stay around. (Chorus 2) Can't say it didn't mean a thing, that it was just a fling. If you hear me say I'm doing well, That's the biggest lie I'll ever tell.
