White lyin’ Lyrics by Petric

Flashbacks

2021

[Verse 1]
It was just three words
Rolling off a whisper I thought, "What could it hurt?"
So I let it fly in the heat of the night
The heat of the moment the steam and the passion
I wasn't thinking I just let it happen
Telling you what I was trying to feel
I didn't think it was a big deal
[Chorus]
But I was white lyin' in the back of an 89 Dodge in the parking lot miles past curfew
I couldn't help it at the time when I looked you in the eye promising I'd never hurt you
Letting my lips write cheques that my heart couldn't cash Throwing words around that I can't take back
Letting you think that I would be your white light when I was whitе lyin'
[Verse 2]
I didn't wanna be the bad guy
The onе your friends run down say your too good for that guy
But I just got in over my head
And I let your love outrun my intentions
Got a little drunk on your affection
It felt like a victimless crime
But girl you paid the price
[Chorus]
But I was white lyin' in the back of an 89 Dodge in the parking lot miles past curfew
I couldn't help it at the time when I looked you in the eye promising I'd never hurt you
Letting my lips write cheques that my heart couldn't cash Throwing words around that I can't take back
Letting you think that I would be your white light when I was white lyin', yeah
[Post-Chorus]
I was white lyin'
[Bridge]
Now I can't look at the board at those old pictures of us
Reckless, careless, selfish
Telling you it was love as if we knew what that was
[Chorus]
It was white lyin' in the back of an 89 Dodge
I couldn't help myself
And promising I'd never hurt you
Letting my lips write cheques that my heart couldn't cash Throwing words around that I can't take back
Letting you think that I was being your white light when I was white lyin'
I was white lyin'
I was white lyin'
[Outro]
I gotta live with my white lyin', oh
