White Lies

Oh his heart is bound somewhere
Down south
So I can't understand a word
That comes out of his lying mouth
I wake up to a warm room everyday
So I leave the window open and now
Things are gonna get cold
This is bound to get old

Time and time again
You hold it in your hand
And I'm no more
Than a means to your end

I worked my hands to the bone
I whine and bitch and moan
But in the end I'm always right
I know you said it all along
But I can't tell the truth from your
Little white lies

I am just not cut out for this life
Not cut out for dog fights and red eyes
And drinking every night

But I can play along
Like I can play this song for you
While she's getting you off
Cause you can play along too
I'll walk you through the steps
Yes I will show you what to do
Seen it all before
Now I'll show you the door

Time and time again
You hold it in your hand
And I'm no more
Than a means to your end

I worked my hand to the bone
I whine and bitch and moan
But in the end I'm always right
I know you said it all along
But I can't tell the truth from your
Little white lies

Why don't you just go on back down
Home?
Cause me telling you off
I might as well be talking on my own

Cause I knew you were gone
When I opened the door
I knew that you were done
I knew you were no more
Please don't tell me so
Because I never asked you
But it doesn't surprise me
I wouldn't put it passed you

I can feel it coming
I can feel the hurt
Before you even say it
Before you speak the words
Telling me I can't
You're telling me I'm wrong
Why can't we just agree?
Why can't we get along?

Told you I'd do better
Promised I'd be good
I thought you said you knew
I thought you understood

I shout it from the rooftops
But I don't make a sound
Not a crack in the wall
Not a dent in the ground
