Lyrics Ron Pope – White Lies

I said, «Everybody’s headed out to La,
But I hate to see you suffer.
You love New York in the summer.»
So let’s gather up the pieces of this broken, wilted thing.

I’ve always wanted you too close.

And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it.
We won’t survive on this borrowed time;
I don’t know why you’d wanna try.
I said, «Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?»
Ah these white lies

I catch a glimpse of fingernails with cracked pink polish,
Tapping out a rhythm,
I’m just wondering what you’re thinking.
There’s a faded photograph of someone else you used to love.
Can’t stop from wishing,
That you’d just forget him.

I’ve always wanted you too close.

And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it.
We won’t survive on this borrowed time;
I don’t know why you’d wanna try.
And I said, «Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?»
On these white lies.

I remember the night, the hotel bed,
You cried out loud.
You were still in love with me.
Through time and space, oh, everything,

And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
Well I don’t mind if you build your dreams around it.
We won’t survive on this borrowed time;
I don’t know why you’d wanna try.
I said, «Why, why, why do we waste time?»
And I said, «Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?»
On these white lies
