White Lies

White Lies

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE YOU OUT
BUT I'M NOT GETTING ANY CLOSER.
ALL THESE LIES KEEP SLIPPING OUT YOUR MOUTH
BUT WE ACT ON LIKE IT IS KOSHER.
BUT IT WAS OVER, SOON AS I GOT SOBER.
SO SOBER.

I FELL DOWN FROM THE HIGHEST HIGH
BUT LANDED SAFE UPON MY SIDE.
MY INSIDES OUT. MY HEART IS RARE.
I LAID IT BARE. I SHOWED I CARED
BUT YOU WERE NEVER TRULY THERE.

YOU GAVE ME WHITE OUT.
LIGHTS IN MY EYES AND I WILE OUT.
IT'S HOLLYWOOD. YOUR LIGHT WAS BRIGHT AND IT FELT SO GOOD.
I NEVER KNEW YOU. MISS WHITE LIES. WHITE LIES.
ALL I'LL EVER KNOW OF YOU ARE YOUR WHITE LINES
X2 AND {WHITE X6} LIES.

I CAN HEAR YOU BREATHING BESIDE ME,
AS I THROW UP THE DIRT YOU LEFT INSIDE ME.
YOU LAID THERE OH DROP DEAD PEACEFULLY
YOUR BLACK HAIR SHROUDS MY DARK HISTORY AND
NOW I CAN SEE IT'S OVER. NOW THAT I'VE GOT SOBER
I CAN SEE IT WITH MY OWN EYES.

I FELL DOWN FROM THE HIGHEST HIGH
BUT LANDED SAFE UPON MY SIDE.
MY INSIDES OUT. MY HEART IS RARE.
I LAID IT BARE. I SHOWED I CARED
BUT YOU WERE NEVER TRULY THERE.

YOU GAVE ME WHITE OUT.
LIGHTS IN MY EYES AND I WILE OUT.
IT'S HOLLYWOOD. YOUR LIGHT WAS BRIGHT AND IT FELT SO GOOD.
I NEVER KNEW YOU. MISS WHITE LIES. WHITE LIES.
ALL I'LL EVER KNOW OF YOU ARE YOUR WHITE LINES
AND WHITE WHITE LIES.

LORD, LORD GAVE ME THAT, LORD GAVE ME THAT COLD HARD TRUTH.
I FOUND IT LYING NEXT TO YOU, WHILE WE WERE DANCING WITH OUR INNER YOUTHS.
BUT GOD KNOWS, MY GOD KNOWS, ALL INNOCENCE IS GONE FOR GOOD.
BUT I'MMA BE A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU EVER COULD.

YOU GAVE ME WHITE OUT.
LIGHTS IN MY EYES AND I WILE OUT.
IT'S HOLLYWOOD. YOUR LIGHT WAS BRIGHT AND IT FELT SO GOOD.
I NEVER KNEW YOU. MISS WHITE LIES. WHITE LIES.
ALL I'LL EVER KNOW OF YOU ARE YOUR WHITE LINES
X4 AND WHITE WHITE LIES.
