Little White Lies

We met on open streets where we both had no place to go

I remember how my heart beat when you said “Oh, Billy I love you so”

Now, standing in the doorway, did you ever think that we could look this old

Victims of the little white lies that we told

We didn’t count tomorrows, we took what we could and ran

There was no time for sorrow, every place you went I held your hand

And when the night closed in, I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know

But they never whispered the little white lies that we told

It was so good at the start, nothin’ could ever pull it apart

Runnin’ hand in hand through the rain

But soon the heart break, soon the pain girl

There were no cold denials, nobody really lied

It wasn’t in the things we said girl, just time spent, promises implied

And when it began to fall apart eaten quietly away from the inside

Bit by bit by those little white lies

Now standing in the doorway did you ever think, ever think that we could look this old

Victims of the little white lies that we told

Now lying here in the dark, did you ever think, ever think that we could be this cold

Just as cold as the little white lies that we told

Little white lies, little white lies

Little white lies, little white lies

Little white lies, little white lies

Little white lies, little white lies
