White Lie

I was 16 years old
When the sadness took hold
And it never went again

Still feel it sometimes
When the weather's unkind
And my lover's lips are thin

But then I get out, tell myself the white lie
That blind faith would make everything alright
That I'd walk on water like when I was younger

I'm a failure, I'm a disaster
And I don't want to be anything else
I'm a loner, I'm a loser
And I don't want to be anything else

It's in London, mostly
With the swarms around me
And it comes in waves again
Yeah, I'll do what I'm told
Let the future unfold
As I'm thrown down the rabbit hole

But then I get out, tell myself the white lie
That blind faith would make everything alright
That I'd walk on water like when I was younger

I'm a failure, I'm a disaster
And I don't want to be anything else
I'm a loner, I'm a loser
And I don't want to be anything else

Do you feel the same to me?
Do you feel the same to me?

'Cause I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be anything else
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be anything else

I'm a failure, I'm a disaster
And I don't want to be anything else
