“white lies” is a song about lying by omission, hiding how you’re really feeling in order to keep up the façade that everything’s okay, draining the color from your relationship.
[Verse 1]
Say what you mean
(Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
Pick apart the seams
(Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me that you won't
And you tell me that you can't
But I know it's all right there
We could end it with a fight
But at least it's not a lie
Cause we're not a-alright here
But you're letting out
[Chorus]
White lies
You color me with all your white lies
You call me "lover" like we're alright
You're painting pictures but the
Sky is the same as the sun
Because your color's all in white
(Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
[Verse 2]
Lay alone with me
Silent for eternity
My eyes wide, lips sealed
(Just let me know and you can go)
Say it all, what's real
(Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
[Chorus]
White lies
You color me with all your white lies
You call me "lover" like we're alright
You're painting pictures but the
Sky is the same as the sun
Because your color's all in
White lies
And I can keep believing white lies
I'll follow if you're leading, alright
I'll paint your pictures with the
Pinks and the blues 'til we're done
Cause all your colors all are --
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me that you won't
And you tell me that you can't
But I know it's all right there
We could end it with a fight
But at least it's not a lie
Cause we're not a-alright here
(2, 3, 4)
[Chorus]
White lies
You color me with all your white lies
You call me "lover" like we're alright
You're painting pictures but the
Sky is the same as the sun
Because your color's all in
White lies
And I can keep believing white lies
I'll follow if you're leading, alright
I'll paint your pictures with the
Pinks and the blues 'til we're done
Cause all your colors all are
