White Lies - Dream Mclean

Oh Lord, why do you love us?

We lie to each other, we lie to our brothers

We lie to our mothers, we lie to our lovers

We lie to ourselves like it’s fine, that’s alright

That’s the truth, ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss

I thought you knew, ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss

And that’s the truth

She said why you lying to me?

I said I’m just trying to be the person you’re trying to see

Ain’t this what you wanted?

She straight away responded with

«I hate being lied to but I hate it when you’re honest»

If I’m honest, I locked it away in my subconscious

And pretended it didn’t matter, you were breaking what you’d promised to me

How could you do this to me?

You looked me in my eyes

I said it’s an ugly truth until you put it in disguise

Oh Lord, who put you in the skies to watch over us

And judge us like you never told a lie yourself?

If it’s a sin, send me right to hell

But there’s seven million that lied as well, it’s a cry for help

White lies, white wine, once bitten, twice shy

You can’t see the devil living life blind

Truth hurts so you might find

Ignorance is bliss for ya, ignorance is bliss for ya

Wish you knew the truth but be careful what you wish for

You asked for it, don’t ask for it

When deep down you don’t want me to answer it

If I told you I was a liar would you believe me?

Would you see me, I wonder, or would you be Stevie?

Yeah, just be ignorant to it all

I swear I’ll keep you up, if I don’t I’ll pick you up when you fall

And I’ll pick it up when you call, tell me what you wanna know

You think you’d rather know until you find out

Black presidents, white lies in the White House

For crying out loud, now I’m crying out
