about

White Lies is my first single!

The song talks about that inner battle you have, questioning why you are lying when you know its the wrong thing to do.

lyrics

Lies break, lies take, lies make it easier but only for awhile
Just you wait, 'cause lies create tension
It's on your face, the lies you trace, hands are shaking bones are aching can't even smile
Even when you must've had good intentions

So why lie? Why lie? When goodbye is not what you're searching for?
Why lie? Why lie?

Lies start fights, oh lies might, tear down the walls of trust that truth made worth while
Fiction created friction, lost affection, yeah
Lying in my bed, stories were fed, to you they bruised you you can't even smile
What lies ahead, I will regret, make corrections

So why lie? Why lie? When goodbye is not what you're searching for?
Why lie? Why lie?

White lies, get grayer each time that you try, to cover those stupid
White lies, get grayer each time that you try, to cover those stupid
White lies, get grayer each time that you try, to cover those stupid
White lies, get grayer each time that you try, to cover those stupid

So why lie? Why lie? When goodbye is not what you're searching for?
Why lie? Why lie?
So why lie? Why lie? When goodbye is not what you're searching for?
Why lie? Why lie?
Why lie, why lie, white lies
