Lyrics
Every little white lie times two
Every small deception is compounded by another.
(To cover up the first one)
The second lie is told to conceal the first.
Said and done, nothing you can do
After the lies are spoken, the situation is irreversible.
Got your act down pretty well
You present a convincing facade.
I know you believe yourself but
You genuinely believe your own act.
Little voice in the back of your mind
An inner voice challenges your honesty.
Gonna keep you awake at night
Consequences will disturb your peace of mind.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Encouragement to start telling the truth.
It's time to get real
It's time to face reality.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Encouragement to start being honest.
Thought you had it figured out then boom
Unexpected challenges disrupt your plans.
(They hit you with a big one)
A significant obstacle catches you off guard.
Now you know I'm talkin' 'bout you
The reference is to you, acknowledging the situation.
Well, I know where you're coming from
Understanding the origin of your actions.
Too scared to turn and run
Fear prevents you from facing the truth.
I've worn those shoes before
The singer empathizes, having been in a similar position.
Running blind you're an open door
Being oblivious makes you vulnerable.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Repeat encouragement to embrace honesty.
Lies lies lies lies
Lies are emphasized through repetition.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Reiteration of the call to tell the truth.
Every little white lie times two
A reminder of the escalating deceit.
(To cover up the first one)
The need for additional lies to cover the initial falsehood.
Said and done, nothing you can do
No way to rectify the situation after lies are spoken.
Thought you had it figured out then boom
Unexpected challenges disrupt your plans once again.
They hit you with a big one
A significant obstacle catches you off guard once more.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Reiteration of the call to face reality and tell the truth.
It's time to get real
It's time to confront the truth.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Continued encouragement to be truthful.
Lies lies lies lies lies
Intensification of lies emphasized through repetition.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Reiteration of the call to embrace honesty.
Gonna tell, gonna tell, gonna tell the truth
A commitment to telling the truth is declared.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Gonna tell, gonna tell, gonna tell the truth
Reiteration of the commitment to tell the truth.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Continued emphasis on the importance of truth.
Gonna tell the truth
A direct declaration to tell the truth.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Telling the truth
A confirmation of the act of truth-telling.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Reiteration of the importance of telling the truth.
Lies lies lies lies lies
Intensification of lies highlighted through repetition.
(Start telling the, start telling the truth)
Final call to start telling the truth.
