little white lies

well everybody

everybody who has reached out so far to me

well never did we ever think that these were desperate times or misery

and they softly spoke of how it's supposed to be

never did i think that i was so naive. so please let me be lonely tonight

for how many times i thought this was the life

but i'm not so sure i even am alive. well i've torn apart and warded off nearly every lover every friend

every smile was so delicate

floated around until the nights would end

and i'd wander off and then i'd find a bed

with the thought of her still dancing 'round my head. so please let me be lonely tonight

how many times i thought that you were right

but i knew that they were all little white lies. oh!

you have my heart so take my money too

look at how i've gone and made myself a fool

i couldn't please you

you never believed that i was true

so darlin'

oh darlin'

please let me forget about you. oh!

so please let me be lonely tonight

you know that i don't want to have to yell or fight

no i'm not the one to judge what's wrong and right. so please

let me be lonely tonight

oh i know that in your heart you'll be just fine

so forget you ever looked into my eyes.
