Little White Lies
Heaven in Deceit: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Little White Lies'
Lyrics
The moon was all aglow
The moon was shining brightly.
But heaven was in your eyes
Despite the moon, the real beauty and sincerity were seen in your eyes.
The night that you told me
On the night you disclosed something to me.
Those little white lies
You confessed to telling small, harmless lies.
The stars all seemed to know
The stars understood that your sighs weren't genuine.
You didn't mean all those sighs
You didn't truly mean the emotional sounds you made.
The night that you told me
It was the night you admitted to telling those little white lies.
Those little white lies
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of telling small untruths.
I try, but there's no forgetting
Despite attempts, the memory is hard to erase.
When evenin' appears
Referencing the evening when memories were formed.
I sigh but there's no regretting
Sadness lingers without remorse.
In spite of my tears
Despite tears, there is no feeling of regret.
Who wouldn't believe those lips
Expressing trust in those lips.
Who wouldn't believe those eyes
Believing in the sincerity of those eyes.
The night that you told me
Referring again to the night when little white lies were confessed.
Those little white lies
Reiteration of acknowledging the small untruths.
I try, but there's no forgetting
Reaffirming the difficulty of forgetting.
When evenin' appears
Recalling the challenges associated with the evening.
I sigh but there's no regretting
Sighing without remorse even in retrospect.
In spite of my tears
Despite tears, there is no sense of regret.
The Devil was in your heart
Suggesting a conflict between good and evil within.
But Heaven was in your eyes
Despite the internal struggle, sincerity was visible in the eyes.
The night that you told me
Referring to the night of confessing little white lies.
Those little white lies
Reiterating the acknowledgment of small untruths.
Those lies
Emphasizing the trivial nature of the lies.
Teeny-weeny little white lies
Describing the lies as extremely small and insignificant.
