Breaking a Promise vs. Telling a Lie

The Scene:  You said you'd do it if he would. He did it but you didn't do it. On purpose.

Would you say you were lying at the time you said you'll do it too?
                                                or
Would you say you can't keep the promise you made that time?

Obviously none of the two will add a star in your name at the 'good noodle' chart. Maybe the question is about choosing which one will less ruin your reputation.

I'd go for the latter. You don't really have to make a promise next time, you just have to say you'll try.
