So does anyone know the answer? This isn't even a hard riddle

If the statement were the truth then you would be telling the truth, which would actually make the statement a lie. 
And if it were a lie, then you would be telling a lie which wouldn't make your statement true, because that would only be one lie, and would not mean that you only tell lies.

That is my reasoning behind the fact that it couldn't be the truth and would have be a lie. xD
