White Lies Lyrics
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there 'til the bitter end.
Your voice feels bitter now.
The world I'm fighting for just plays pretend.
I'm surrendering.
I'm surrendering.
I'm surrendering.
Way too long, way too long.
Way too long, way too long.
I'm not gonna turn my head.
You play the part I'm holding out my hands.
Out of sight, out of mind, out of sight.
I feel you in the air. You haunt me everywhere.
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there.
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there.
White lies,
You do this every time.
We fall in familiar places,
Drift apart and don't know why.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. Gone.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. You play the part I'm holding out my hands.
Way too long, way too long.
Way too long, way too long.
You said you'd be there 'til the bitter end.
Your voice is bitter now.
The world I'm fighting for just plays pretend.
I'm surrendering.
White lies,
You do this every time.
We fall in familiar places,
Drift apart and don't know why.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. Gone.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. You are the reason for the life I live.
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
Your voice feels bitter now.
The world I'm fighting for just plays pretend.
I'm surrendering.
I'm surrendering.
I'm surrendering.
Way too long, way too long.
Way too long, way too long.
You play the part I'm holding out my hands.
Out of sight, out of mind, out of sight.
I feel you in the air. You haunt me everywhere.
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there.
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there.
You do this every time.
We fall in familiar places,
Drift apart and don't know why.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. Gone.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. You play the part I'm holding out my hands.
Way too long, way too long.
Your voice is bitter now.
The world I'm fighting for just plays pretend.
I'm surrendering.
You do this every time.
We fall in familiar places,
Drift apart and don't know why.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. Gone.
Breaths we take, like breaths we take,
You're gone. You are the reason for the life I live.
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, be-be-be-be-be there, be there

I feel like he is being tormented by this lover of his without her knowing. Yet he loves her so much that he surrenders himself to her. He wants her in his world, maybe she is his world, but she's pretending to love him and he is pretending not to care so he surrenders again not doing anything about it. The thought of her haunts him everywhere he goes especially when he tries to ignore it. She's lying to him but he shrugs it off. He's holding out his hands while she plays the part, he wants her love but she only pretends.
I go through the exact same feeling every day.
