Little White Lies lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

We met on open streets where

We both had no place to go

I remember how my heart beat when

You said "Oh, Billy I love you so"

Now, standing in the doorway

Did you ever think that we could look this old

Victims of the little white lies that we told

We didn't count tomorrows

We took what we could and ran

There was no time for sorrow

Every place you went I held your hand

And when the night closed in

I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know

But they never whispered the little white lies that we told

It was so good at the start

Nothing could ever pull it apart

Running hand in hand through the rain

But soon the heart break, soon the pain girl

There were no cold denials

Nobody really lied

It wasn't in the things we said girl

Just time spent, promises implied

And when it began to fall apart

Eaten quietly away from the inside

Bit by bit by those little white lies

Now standing in the doorway did you ever think

Ever think that we could look this old

Victims of the little white lies that we told

Now lying here in the dark, did you ever think

Ever think that we could be this cold

Just as cold as the little white lies that we told

Little white lies
