Honesty is a killer
Truth we must hide
Lies are the pillar
Don't look inside
To tell her she looks pretty in that dress
That you don't mind cleaning up his mess
Her guy best friend is really not her ex
Never faked an orgasm when we had sex
Oh, did I tell you something that you really didn't want to know?
Everyone want someone - to lie to - them
Everyone want someone - to lie to - them
Everyone want someone - to lie to - them
Everyone want someone - to lie to - them
Silence is no savior
So tell little white lies
Ignore my behavior
And don't read my eyes
To tell him that his gifts are the best
You've always wanted a book on insects
Boring dinner parties, wanting nothing less
Just grin and bear it, but nothing to ever confess
I don't want to hurt you, but I think you're too fat
I've been smoothing out the imprint from where you sat
Should I just say that I love you and your cat
Bless your heart if you believe me in all that
Silence is no savior
So tell little white lies
Ignore my behavior
And don't read behind my eyes
