A little white lie.
It couldn't possibly hurt.
It broke a promise.
But it can't be worse,
Than the truth,
Than your honesty.

Because who knows when,
You'll stop being afraid,
Of facing your fears,
Of listening to your mind,
And not your naïve heart,
For it puts you in positions,
That tears others apart.

I'm sorry.
A little white lie,
Got me here.
A simple lie,
Caused them tears.
A simple lie,
Broke their trust.
A little white lie,
Left them in disgust.
