White Lies Lyrics by Cheri Knight

The Northeast Kingdom

1998

[Verse]
Since you've been gone I been leaving the light on
To make you think I'm home
Since you've been gone on I been keeping to myself
To make you think I'm alone
It all seems the same and nothing has changed
So you pass on by
And you think I been good, but I wandered away for the night
[Verse]
I'd like you to think that I'm just hanging on
To every word you say
I'd like you to think that I'm broken in two
And we're just finding the way
I'm having my fun with the one who betrayed me
What's the worst I can do
So he lies on a plate while I sit back and savor the truth
[Chorus]
White lies, illusions
Well, well, well
I see my slight of hand is fooling you
White lies, illusions
Who can see
They say that a lie is as good as the truth if everyone believes
[Refrain]
I'm having my fun with the one who betrayed me
What's the worst I can do
So he lies on a plate while I sit back and savor the truth
[Solo]
[Verse]
Since you been gone I been using the back door every chance I get
It opens up wide on the wild blue yonder
And I got no regrets
Well I like the sound of the wind at night blowing under my heels
And I know I been good but I ain't quite been what I seem
[Chorus]
White lies, illusions
Well, well, well
I see my slight of hand is fooling you
White lies, illusions
Who can see
They say that a lie is as good as the truth if everyone believes
[Refrain]
Well I like the sound of the wind at night blowing under my heels
And I know I been good but I ain't quite been what I seem
