Song title: Little while lies
Little while lies
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 didn’t 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, nothin’ could ever pull it apart
Runnin’ 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
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
Little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies
Notes:
This outtake was published in the The River Anniversary box in 2015, but it seems to be a "modern" mix between the music of White lies with the lyrics of Loose ends.
