Little White Lies

I'll tell you I'm fine I'm alright If a little white lie saves you from that then I'll lie through my teeth till the end Walking through life on the defense Wish that I could reflect All the things I always try to deflect I try to reset Forget that the secrets I try to keep them hidden But the truth always comes spilling It's the hurt The drugs that make it worse The confidence I flirt With illusionist I'm trying not to lose it But I'm losing it withholding my emotions They come flowing But I'm trying not to show it I wish that I could scream it from the rooftops I think my body's fight or flight is way off I've been living on survival mode Since I was about 5 years old now I'm older shades are lifted And the universe has shifted But the truth is hard to reach Cuz who has time to keep Up with all the reasons Why I feel my heart beat So I get high Off these little white lies So you never have to know the truth I tell you I'm fine And I'll say it with a smile So you never have to see through All the barriers I place before me All the terrors going through my head If a little white lie saves you from that then I'll lie through my teeth till the end I'll tell you I'm fine I'm alright If a little white lie saves you from that then I'll lie through my teeth till the end Lately life's been feeling like a contest Always up in arms when Competitions never been an honest Game that we play with our minds and our brains Makes us feel insane Better to disengage Can't seem to get off my phone In public I feel alone Only ever get dial tones No baby I'm still at home Feel like I won't ever leave this place I'm going crazy it's insane Please don't cry I swear I'd die without your face Can't you see behind those eyes I'm losing faith Baby is worth it? If the tide rose higher than the stakes Would you take it if you had your chance to walk away So I get high Off these little white lies So you never have to know the truth I tell you I'm fine And I'll say it with a smile So you never have to see through All the barriers I place before me All the terrors going through my head If a little white lie saves you from that then I'll lie through my teeth till the end I'll tell you I'm fine I'm alright If a little white lie saves you from that then I'll lie through my teeth till the end Tell you I'm fine I'm alright If a little white lie saves you from that then I'll lie through my teeth till the end
