White Lie

I say I'm 10 when I'm 9 and half.
My Uncle tells a joke and I try to laugh
In gym I fake a headache, when I want to quit
I say I love the sweater that my Grandma knit.

But that’s a white lie
That's the kind you wanna tell
white lie
So your mom won't have to yell
white lie
Everybody does it cause it feels alright
and it's more polite
But a lies still a lie,
even when it's white

I pretend I'm asleep when my dad walk's in
I said I ate my chicken, but I just ate the skin
Your face can say your lyin’ and when your mouth says your not
Your pants are on fire, but their not too hot

But that’s a white lie
That's the kind you want to tell
white lie
So your dad won't have to yell
white lie
Everybody does it, cause it feels alright
and it's more polite
but a lie's still a lie,
even when it's white

While it might be hard, to say what's true,
would you want a white lie told to you?

But that’s a white lie
That's the kind you wanna tell
white lie
So your mom won't have to yell
white lie
Everybody does it cause it feels alright
and it's more polite
But a lie’s still a lie,
even when it's white
