White Lies

Intro

Ooh, yeah...

Verse 1

You asked me if I'm doing fine

I smiled and said I'm alright

But there were tears behind my eyes

I hid them underneath the light

You asked me if I still care

I said no I'm over you

But every time I see your face

My heart forgets what I told you

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm afraid to say

What's been living in my heart

So I paint the truth in gray

And pretend we're worlds apart

Maybe I don't want to know

What would happen if I stayed

So I keep these words unspoken

And let my silence take the blame

Chorus

These are my white lies

Little words I use to hide

All the feelings I can't deny

All the tears I keep inside

These are my white lies

I say I'm okay every night

But when I'm alone in the dark

You're still the light inside my heart

Verse 2

You asked me if I miss the past

I said those days are gone

But every song we used to love

Still plays inside my room at dawn

You asked me if I've moved along

I said I'm someone new

But every road I take somehow

Still leads me back to you

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm afraid to say

What's been living in my heart

So I paint the truth in gray

And pretend we're worlds apart

Maybe I don't want to know

What would happen if I stayed

So I keep these words unspoken

And let my silence take the blame

Chorus

These are my white lies

Little words I use to hide

All the feelings I can't deny

All the tears I keep inside

These are my white lies

I say I'm okay every night

But when I'm alone in the dark

You're still the light inside my heart

Bridge

If I told you the truth tonight

Would you stay or would you run

Would you look into my eyes

And see everything I've done

Maybe honesty hurts more

Than the lies we tell to heal

But I'm tired of pretending

That these feelings aren't real

Breakdown

If I say I don't love you

you'd believe me

If I say I don't miss you

You'd believe me

If I say I'm doing fine

Look into my eyes

You'll see the truth

Between every line

Final Chorus

These are my white lies

Little words I use to hide

All the feelings I can't deny

All the tears I keep inside

These are my white lies

I say I'm okay every night

But when I'm alone in the dark

You're still the light inside my heart

Bridge

If I told you the truth tonight

Would you stay or would you run

Would you look into my eyes

And see everything I've done

Maybe honesty hurts more

Than the lies we tell to heal

But I'm tired of pretending

That these feelings aren't real
