Lyrics White Lies - Dream Mclean

White Lies

Oh Lord, why do you love us?
We lie to each other, we lie to our brothers
We lie to our mothers, we lie to our lovers
We lie to ourselves like it’s fine, that’s alright
That’s the truth, ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss
I thought you knew, ignorance is bliss
Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss
And that’s the truth
She said why you lying to me?
I said I’m just trying to be the person you’re trying to see
Ain’t this what you wanted?
She straight away responded with
«I hate being lied to but I hate it when you’re honest»
If I’m honest, I locked it away in my subconscious
And pretended it didn’t matter, you were breaking what you’d promised to me
How could you do this to me?
You looked me in my eyes
I said it’s an ugly truth until you put it in disguise
Oh Lord, who put you in the skies to watch over us
And judge us like you never told a lie yourself?
If it’s a sin, send me right to hell
But there’s seven million that lied as well, it’s a cry for help
White lies, white wine, once bitten, twice shy
You can’t see the devil living life blind
Truth hurts so you might find
Ignorance is bliss for ya, ignorance is bliss for ya
Wish you knew the truth but be careful what you wish for
You asked for it, don’t ask for it
When deep down you don’t want me to answer it
If I told you I was a liar would you believe me?
Would you see me, I wonder, or would you be Stevie?
Yeah, just be ignorant to it all
I swear I’ll keep you up, if I don’t I’ll pick you up when you fall
And I’ll pick it up when you call, tell me what you wanna know
You think you’d rather know until you find out
Black presidents, white lies in the White House
For crying out loud, now I’m crying out
