White Lies Lyrics

Yesterday I was higher right under my smile
The longest day of my entire life
I was going backwards
And if I had known it
I would have my stopped my white lies

And that was all my
All my fault
But that's what makes the pieces of a normal man
I knew this all
But I didn't know enough to know it comes from this

I'm doing my eyes right
I'm sleeping all through the night
But all of my thoughts are white
All of this can't be real
Real tonight, real tonight

And it's all my fault
But that's what makes the pieces of a normal man
I knew this all
But I didn't know enough to know it comes from this

All my fault
(It's all my fault)
But that's what makes the pieces of a normal man
I'm doing my eyes right
I knew this all
I'm sleeping all through the night
But I didn't know enough to know it comes from this
But all of my thoughts are white
Real tonight, real tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think the first line is "yesterday i was hiding right under my smile"..that makes more sense too.

seems to me the song's about regretting his white lies..now he has to live with the consequences and he can't believe it's all real, happening to him all at once. but part of that is, he's accepting himself that he's just a normal man that makes mistakes, and his mistakes make him a normal man. :)
