White Lie

I was sixteen years old
When the silence took hold
And it never went again

Still feel it sometimes
When the weather’s unkind
And my lover’s lips are thin

But then I get out
Tell myself the white lie
That my faith would make everything alright

That I walk on water
Like when I was younger

I’m a failure, I’m a disaster
And I don’t wanna be anything else
I’m a loner, I’m a loser
And I don’t wanna be anything else

It’s in London, most sleeps
It swarms around me
And it comes in waves again

Yeah, I’ll do what I’m told
Let the future unfold
As I’m thrown down the rabbit hole

But then I get out
Tell myself the white lie
That my faith would make everything alright

That I walk on water
Like when I was younger

I’m a failure, I’m a disaster
And I don’t wanna be anything else
I’m a loner, I’m a loser
And I don’t wanna be anything else

Do you feel the same to me?
Do you feel the same to me?

‘Cause I don’t wanna be like you
I don’t wanna be like you
I don’t wanna be anything else

I don’t wanna be like you
I don’t wanna be like you
I don’t wanna be anything else

I’m a failure, I’m a disaster
And I don’t wanna be anything else
