White Lies
I
I'll lay it on the line
But baby give me time
I cannot change what's stood in the mirror
See
I hold a smoking gun
Been living on the run
Shot it long ago but right here, right now
I don't think they'll ever understand
I'm too weak to be a bad man
Holding on for dear life
Yeah I lied my face off too much most days
Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
You'll like me better with my head in the ground
I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
C-can I breathe?
I don't know what I need
I'm counting down from three
Oh I just wanna drown in the river
But hey
I know I'm not as young
Stopped playing games for fun
I wanna be a man she'll admire right now
I don't think they'll truly understand
That I am really not the same man
Been waiting here forever
If I stop right now have I stopped too late?
Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
You'll like me better with my head in the ground
I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
She was the voice inside my head
And she's only getting clearer
I can't wake up when I feel dead
Now I wake up with the shivers
She was the voice inside of my head
And she's only getting clearer
I can't wake up when I feel dead
Now I wake up with the shivers
'Cause I've been talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
You'll like me better with my head in the ground
I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
'Cause I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
White lies
White lies
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll lay it on the line
But baby give me time
I cannot change what's stood in the mirror
See
I hold a smoking gun
Been living on the run
Shot it long ago but right here, right now
I don't think they'll ever understand
I'm too weak to be a bad man
Holding on for dear life
Yeah I lied my face off too much most days
Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
You'll like me better with my head in the ground
I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
C-can I breathe?
I don't know what I need
I'm counting down from three
Oh I just wanna drown in the river
But hey
I know I'm not as young
Stopped playing games for fun
I wanna be a man she'll admire right now
I don't think they'll truly understand
That I am really not the same man
Been waiting here forever
If I stop right now have I stopped too late?
Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
You'll like me better with my head in the ground
I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
She was the voice inside my head
And she's only getting clearer
I can't wake up when I feel dead
Now I wake up with the shivers
She was the voice inside of my head
And she's only getting clearer
I can't wake up when I feel dead
Now I wake up with the shivers
'Cause I've been talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
You'll like me better with my head in the ground
I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
Talking in my sleep instead of talking to you
'Cause I need some relief so throw me a lifeline
They talk with words, I shout white lies
White lies
White lies
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
