James October - White Lies Lyrics

I grew up good i think
My mother made me kind
I'd pray like once a week
Then never speak my mind
Cause they told me talk is cheap
If I can't say it nice
But now it bites
Cause I hurt you every time i say we're fine
White lies, I
Just want you to be happy
I'm a good guy
But you feel it in your stomach
And now it's
Bigger than it ever had to be
And if I could be honest
Then you wouldn't wanna leave
But if I'm being honest
I'm afraid you won't like me
So I gotta keep lying
Baby in my defense
You know me way too well
Guess it's my consequence
That you can always tell
When I've stayed out too late
But say that I'm asleep
You call me out
And tell me how you think you're way too old for me
White lies, I
Just want you to be happy
I'm a good guy
But you feel it in your stomach
And now it's
Bigger than it ever had to be
And if I could be honest
Then you wouldn't wanna leave
But if I'm being honest
I'm afraid you won't like me
So I gotta keep lying
White lies, I
Just want you to be happy
I'm a good guy
But you feel it in your stomach
And now it's
Bigger than it ever had to be
And if I could be honest
Then you wouldn't wanna leave
But if I'm being honest
I'm afraid you won't like me
So I gotta keep lying
I grew up good i think
My mother made me kind
