White Lies

How long can this go on?
The end is near the money's gone
Now is this my final act?
Face the crowd there is no going back

As I sit my lies confess
Please don't think of me any less
Who'd have thought this price I'd have to pay
Am I your friend, please let me stay
Don't turn away
You'd better go home
Don't turn away
You'd better go home now

It wasn't ever meant to end this way
Those words I fear to hear you say
But the curtain falls

To have it taken from me
Memories of the past
No rhyme or reason to me
Lives they change so fast
One heart, one life
One goal to live the dream
Hate and anger they both return
Memories of the past
Go back

Shine that light in your heart
Some day

To start again on the dark side
Memories of the past
The drink and the drugs, no place to hide
Lives they change so fast
One heart, one life
One goal to live the dream
Hate and anger they both return
Memories of the past
Go back

Shine that light in your heart
Some day

So sad
Never gonna have time for the healing
Leading me back, back to you

So sad
Never understand what I'm feeling
Leading me back, back to you

So sad
Never gonna shape the past unbelieving
Leading me back, back to you
