White Lies

I said
"Everybody's headed out to LA
But I hate to see you suffer
You love New York in the summer"
So let's gather up
The pieces of this broken
Wilted thing
It's worth the struggle
I just ache to touch you
I've always
Wanted you too close
Why, why, why
Is it hard
To sleep without you?
I don't mind
If you build
Your dreams around it
We won't survive
On this borrowed time
I don't know why
You'd wanna try
I said
"Why, why, why
Do we waste time
On these white lies?"
I catch
A glimpse of fingernails
With cracked pink polish
Tapping out a rhythm
I'm just wondering
What you're thinking
There's a faded photograph
Of someone else
You used to love
Can't stop from wishing
That you'd just forget him
I've always
Wanted you too close
Why, why, why
Is it hard
To sleep without you?
I don't mind
If you build
Your dreams around it
We won't survive
On this borrowed time
I don't know why
You'd wanna try
I said
"Why, why, why
Do we waste time
On these white lies?"
I remember the night
The hotel bed
You cried out loud
You were
Still in love with me
Through time and space
Oh, everything
You've wasted
All your precious dreams
And faith, it seems
Needless crying
Why, why, why
Is it hard
To sleep without you?
I don't mind
If you build
Your dreams around it
We won't survive
On this borrowed time
I don't know why
You'd wanna try
I said
"Why, why, why
Do we waste time?"
And I said
"Why, why, why
Do we waste time
On these white lies?"
