Little White Lies

Aurelio Voltaire

[Verse 1]
Do you think you'd like me
Or would you turn and walk away fast
If I told you from whence I came
And all the sordid details of my inglorious past?
I'll tell you why I'm afraid
Would you leave me for dead or would you come to my aid?
If I don't tell you some pretty words
Sure to keep you coming my way

[Chorus]
I never meant to lie but
There are things we do and say to get by
Little white lies
A small surprise how big they grow in size

[Verse 2]
It all starts simple enough
Your present is dark because your childhood was rough
So you shed your skin and you changed your name
In the hopеs of putting air between you and the pain
So grab a mask, fill up a flask and
Slither likе a snake into the Masquerade
Now, you’ve come so far, and you feel like a star
And you hope they never figure out who you really are

[Chorus]
I never meant to lie but
There are things we do and say to get by
Little white lies
A small surprise how big they grow in size
I never meant to lie but
There are things we do and say to get by
Little white lies
We tell ourselves like, "Everything's alright"

[Bridge]
I'm just a snake in the wall, but (I'm just a snake in the wall)
It's a wall you walk by and (It's a wall you walk by)
If I say the right words then (If I say the right words)
You're going to be mine! (You're going to be mine!)

[Chorus]
I never meant to lie but
There are things we do and say to get by
Little white lies
A small surprise how big they grow in size
I never meant to lie but
There are things we do and say to get by
Little white lies
We tell ourselves like, "Everything’s alright"

[Outro]
I never meant to lie, but…
I never meant to lie, but…
I never meant to lie, but…
I guess I had to lie
