[Verse 1]
Started out simple
Little "it’s fine," little "I’m okay"
You say, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing"
Then turn your face away

[Pre-Chorus]
These white lies, they’re stacking up, stacking up
We go quiet every time the truth shows up
Every small excuse, every alibi
How long till we drown in these white lies?

[Chorus]
White lies, white lies
Covering the damage in plain sight
Saying "we’re good, we’re good" while we let it slide
Tell me, are we saving us
Or slowly wasting us?
White lies, white lies
Giving just enough to get by, get by
Keeping this alive on borrowed time
Are we holding on
Or just holding off
With white lies?

[Post-Chorus]
White lies, white lies
"Nothing’s wrong tonight"
White lies, white lies
"I’m fine, I’m fine"
White lies, white lies
Say it one more time
White lies, white lies

[Verse 2]
You say, "I’m tired"
I say, "I’ve just got a lot going on"
We laugh like nothing, like nothing hurts
Like nothing here is wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
These white lies, they’re stacking up, stacking up
We go quiet every time the truth shows up
Every small excuse, every alibi
How long till we drown in these white lies?

[Chorus]
White lies, white lies
Covering the damage in plain sight
Saying "we’re good, we’re good" while we let it slide
Tell me, are we saving us
Or slowly wasting us?
White lies, white lies
Giving just enough to get by, get by
Keeping this alive on borrowed time
Are we holding on
Or just holding off
With white lies?

[Post-Chorus]
White lies, white lies
"Nothing’s wrong tonight"
White lies, white lies
"I’m fine, I’m fine"
White lies, white lies
Say it one more time
White lies, white lies

[Bridge]
So many white lies
So many white lies
"I’m okay"
"It’s alright"
"Don’t worry"
"Not tonight"
So many white lies
So many white lies
Said so easy, said so clean
Till nothing real is in between

[Final Chorus]
White lies, white lies
Covering the damage in plain sight
Saying "we’re good, we’re good" while we let it slide
Tell me, are we saving us
Or slowly wasting us?
White lies, white lies
Giving just enough to get by, get by
Keeping this alive on borrowed time
I’d rather hear the hard truth tonight
Than lose what’s left of us
To white lies

[Final Post-Chorus / Outro]
White lies, white lies
"Nothing’s wrong tonight"
White lies, white lies
"I’m fine, I’m fine"
White lies, white lies
Say it one more time
White lies, white lies
