White Lies
You tell me it will be alright,
But there are tears in your eyes.
And they show me the fight
You have to tell these lies,
While you can’t believe them.
You touch my skin,
And you try not to back away.
The cold you feel started within.
And no matter what you say,
We face the horror of my sins.
The white lies you try to tell,
When you tremble and you shake.
Well they don’t work so well
I can see your heart,
That is about to break.
And these tears are shed for me,
Don’t think I don’t feel guilt.
I should be protecting you bravely,
But these walls I tried to build,
They kept falling apart.
You tell me it will be alright,
But there are tears in your eyes.
And they show me the fight
You have to tell these lies,
While you can’t believe them.
You touch my skin,
And you try not to back away.
The cold you feel started within.
And no matter what you say,
We face the horror of my sins.
The white lies you try to tell,
When you tremble and you shake.
Well they don’t work so well
I can see your heart,
That is about to break.
And these tears are shed for me,
Don’t think I don’t feel guilt.
I should be protecting you bravely,
But these walls I tried to build,
They kept falling apart.
We dwaalden en verdwaalden en noemden sterren naar onszelf.
