"White Lies" lyrics

White lies

Yeah, yeah

One evening you came home an hour late
You told me not to worry
You'd been out with your friends
I couldn't help but realise
The truth was being compromised
I could see it in your eyes

You say you just wanna make me happy
But that's no reason to let me
See you, feel you, hear you
Twist the truth around
I don't wanna hear you say "I'm sorry babe"
'Cause now it's already too late
Don't take the easy way out

Why you always trying to say
What you think I wanna hear and
It won't make it better
'Cause you're ruining everything
You, I, agreed to honesty
But you had a change of mind and
So for me, you're history
You're ruining everything

Ruining everything
Ruining everything

I called you on the phone the other day
Thought I heard somebody talking on the other end

But there you go again
Trying to play me for a fool
It will all come back to you

You say you just wanna make me happy
But that's no reason to let me
See you, feel you, hear you
Twist the truth around
I don't wanna hear you say "I'm sorry babe"
But now it's already too late
Don't take the easy way out

Why you always trying to say
What you think I wanna hear, and
It won't make it better
'Cause you're ruining everything
You, I, agreed to honesty (We agreed to honesty)
But you had a change of mind and
So for me, you're history
You're ruining everything

So when will you tell it how it is?
(White lies)
And how could you let it end like this?
(White lies)
Just who do you think you wanna be?
(White lies)
And why did you keep it all from me?
(White lies)

No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out

I don't wanna hear you say "I'm sorry babe"
'Cause now it's already too late
Don't take the easy way out

Why you always trying to say
What you think I wanna hear and
It won't make it better
'Cause you're ruining everything
You, I, agreed to honesty (We agreed to honesty)
But you had a change of mind and
So for me, you're history
You're ruining everything

So when will you tell it how it is?
(So when will you tell me how it is?)
And how could you let it end like this?
(White lies)
Just who do you think you wanna be?
(White lies)
And why did you keep it all from me?
(White lies)
