lyrics

Sometimes I fear I was just a pawn in your game
Most days I feel pretty Ok, it being that way
Let’s keep this sacred and secret, if it’s all the same
Though I feel no shame
I fear no blame
It just seems better that way

I, oh my, I tried
Did my very best
At keeping the seething inside of my head
Because I know you didn’t need it,
And nobody could see it driving me insane
I’m on the tracks, you’re a runaway train
Run away my way…

I’ll be yours, if you’ll be my little white lie

Some secrets, we take them as far as we must
Actions to ashes and lust into dust
A little white lie in a little black dress
Does terrible things to my heart and my head
I’m losing my mind as I’m losing my breath

A little white lie in a little black dress
A pretty little bird on a barbed wire fence
The siren of which all sailors are warned
The unstoppable object
The immovable force
I tried to let it go
I tried to let it pass
But that engine is closing fast and I’m lashed to the tracks
Oh, what a trap.

I’ll be yours, if you’ll be my little white lie

..A little white lie in a little black dress
Does terrible things to my heart and my head.
