We met on open streets where we both had no place to go I remember how my heart beat when you said "Oh Billy I love you so" Now, standing in the doorway, did you ever think that we could look this old Victims of the little white lies that we told We did not count tomorrows, we took what we could and ran There was no time for sorrow, every place you went I held your hand And when the night closed in I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know But they never whispered the little white lies that we told It was so good at the start, nothing could ever pull it apart Running hand in hand through the rain, but soon the heart break, soon the pain, girl
There were no cold denials, nobody really lied It wasn't in the things we said, girl, just time spent, promises implied And when it began to fall apart eaten quietly away from the inside Bit by bit by those little white lies Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, hey hey hey! Now standing in the doorway, did you ever think, ever think that we could look this old Victims of the little white lies that we told Now lying here in the dark, did you ever think, ever think that we could be this cold Just as cold as the little white lies that we told Little white lies Little white lies Little white lies Little white lies Little white lies
