Rather than change his bumbling social ways, this guy thinks it would be better to just lie about his failings (not me - purely fictional guy). The singer is a friend, Nick Cardilino

I Should Have Lied
Just a cup of coffee
We said we’d meet at ten
I thought you knew me well enough
To know I’d probably sleep in
When I finally got there
I told the truth - It made you cry
I should have lied
I forgot your birthday
It was stored within my Palm
I know it was quite thoughtless
Just forgot to turn it on
You said it did not matter
Then you turned and I saw you sigh
I should have lied
(bridge 1)
I wish I hadn’t said that
I wish you hadn’t cried
I wish I hadn’t told you
I should have lied
Don’t wanna hurt you baby
But the pain is etched on your face
They say the truth will set you free
Not true in this case
I never gave you false hope
This cuts you deep I can’t deny
I should have lied
(bridge 2)
Should have said I was stuck in traffic
I have your gift sitting at home
Should have said my Palm Pilot was broken
I’m so weak - should have left you alone
I should have lied
I should have lied

Nicely done. Good guitar work and voice. “Palm” is going to date the song.
