White Lies
White Lies: Bittersweet Reflections of Love Lost
Lyrics
I refuse to remember you
I refuse to recall memories of you
in this dark shade of blue
In a state of sadness or melancholy
You can take it all from me,
You can take away material things from me
but I’m keeping the memories
But I will retain the memories we shared
of staying up late, playing games for two
Recalling moments of staying up late and playing games together
Making sweet love, I’m still craving you
Reminiscing about intimate moments and still desiring you
But really, I hope you’ll find someone new
Expressing a genuine hope for your future happiness with someone new
And pray that she’s nothing like I was to you
Wishing that the new person differs from the speaker in their past relationship
You can tell the world your little white lies
Encouraging the ex-partner to fabricate comforting lies to the world
We know that it’s always been the white lines
Suggesting that deception has always kept them apart
keeping us apart
Implying the ex-partner's decision caused the separation
You made your choice when you broke my heart
Stating that the ex-partner made a definitive choice by breaking the speaker's heart
Go tell the world all they wanna hear
Encouraging the ex-partner to share what people want to hear
When you’re alone, I know you will see it clearly, my dear
Suggesting that in solitude, the ex-partner will understand the truth
Why I have moved on and you are still right here
Explaining the speaker's ability to move on while the ex-partner remains emotionally stuck
Darlin’, don’t you know it hurts to see
Expressing emotional pain at being easily forgotten
you forgot about me so easily
Highlighting the speed of the ex-partner's ability to move on
Moving on quicker than I’d ever
Contrasting the ex-partner's quick recovery with the speaker's struggle to cope
while I am here just tryna keep it together
Describing the speaker's attempt to hold things together emotionally
I know you’re having the time of your life
Acknowledging the ex-partner's enjoyment of life
Livin’ it up, till those Tuesday blues arrive
Anticipating a return to routine difficulties after joyful moments
And you realize everything has a price
Realization that everything, even happiness, has its consequences
You can tell the world your little white lies
Reiteration of the suggestion to tell comforting lies to the world
We know that it’s always been the white lines
Repeating the idea that lies have been a consistent factor in their separation
keeping us apart
Reemphasizing that the ex-partner's actions led to the separation
You made your choice when you broke my heart
Reiterating the ex-partner's choice in causing heartbreak
Go tell the world all they wanna hear
Encouraging the ex-partner to share what people want to hear, again
When you’re alone, I know you will see it clearly, my dear
Reiterating that in solitude, the ex-partner will grasp the reality
Tell the world your little white lies
Another prompt to share comforting lies with the world
We know that it’s always been the white lines
Reaffirming the role of lies in keeping them apart
keeping us apart
Reiterating the ex-partner's responsibility in the separation
You made your choice when you broke my heart
Repeating the notion that the ex-partner's choice caused heartbreak
Tell the world all they wanna hear
Encouraging the ex-partner to share pleasing narratives
When you’re alone, I know you will see it clearly, my dear
Suggesting that in solitude, the truth will become clear to the ex-partner
Why I have moved on and you are still right here
Reiterating the speaker's ability to move on and the ex-partner's emotional stagnation
