‘white’ lies

You fell into a story that I made up

You believed it was true

Tear stains on your face when you woke up

Faking a smile is nothing new

I picked from a hat of excuses

When they poured me a glass of wine

The reasons behind my leaving

Are never told beyond the cruel goodbye

So we stood alone by the corners

Watching the green turn into red

The world's never better when you are here

But you deserve better, that's what you hear

Which one is me, the king or the queen

The posts hide my identity

And you loved both of me

No one expects the veil to be mine

But no one will see

This is your best choice, just accept it

Do I ever lie about my advice

My missing black jeans you've been searching

Were burned under a silver pine

The hours and sense of intimacy

Became the medal of me being trustworthy

The sweets and the roses looked above your face

It was red and wet and blurred my gaze

We stood alone by the corners

Watching the green turn into red

The world's never better when you are here

But you deserve better, that's what you hear

Which one is me, the king or the queen

The posts hide my identity

And you loved both of me

No one expects the veil to be mine

But no one will see

Should I keep counting the truths

The algorithm's looking for you

I was examined for all of my 'white' lies

Should I keep all the photographs

The stubs you never take back home

I was examined for all of my 'white' lies

Who built this loop of trapping the victims

I was caught when I was young

When my honesty was voted down

When I still believed that hard work gets paid

And virtues will make us proud

I waited for you by the corner

Watching the green turn into red

The world stopped a second when you arrived

You should deserve better, that's what's on my mind

Should I be the king, Should I be the queen

The posts hide my identity

But you loved both of me

That's when I put the veil above my eyes

So no one will see

No one will see
