Lyrics

## Verse 1
I told you I was fine when you asked me how I feel
Said it didn't matter, that the wound would slowly heal
But every little story that I whispered in the dark
Left another shadow, left another mark

## Verse 2
You smiled like you believed me, I smiled right back at you
We danced around the silence, pretending it was true
The space between our words grew wider every day
While white lies built a wall that pushed us both away

## Verse 3
I said I didn't notice when you started pulling back
Told myself it's nothing, just a temporary crack
But comfort turned to distance, and distance turned to pain
Now I'm counting all the things I should have said again

## Chorus
White lies, white lies
They start so small and light
White lies, white lies
They grow into the night
We thought we were protecting
What we were scared to lose
But white lies, white lies
Are heavier than truth

## Verse 4
Maybe if I'd spoken when the moment was still there
Maybe if I'd chosen to be honest, to be bare
But fear became my master, and silence was my friend
Now I wonder if there's any way to start again

## Bridge
And the silence gets louder
Than any word I say
And the weight gets heavier
With every passing day
I'm standing at the edge now
Of everything I fear
But the truth is all I have left
If you're still here

## Chorus (repeat)
White lies, white lies
They start so small and light
White lies, white lies
They grow into the night
We thought we were protecting
What we were scared to lose
But white lies, white lies
Are heavier than truth

## Outro
So here I am, defenseless
With nothing left to hide
No more white lies between us
Just the truth I kept inside
Just the truth... I kept inside
