I needed an answer
all I got was an eyebrow raised
to go with my current state of apathy
for the words you say
There's always a question
and there's always a reason why
but somehow along the process of truth
nothing came to mind
The silence was broken
by a phrase and a sideways glance
letting us both know how the meaning
never had a chance
If you can't love me for the man I am
could you love me for the man I strive to be
every moment I feel you slipping through my hands
I blame these little white lies that I believe
If I can't love you because of the man I am
could I trust you to still be the one for me
every moment I feel I'm slipping through your hands
I find another white lie to help me breathe
It's almost too easy
fabrication for a fool's dream
as simple as an angle
changes how it seems
I could've been right
but if so we were both all wrong
believing in this fairy tale
for much too long
If you can't love me for the man I am
could you love me for the man I strive to be
every moment I feel you slipping through my hands
I blame these little white lies that I believe
If I can't love you because of the man I am
could I trust you to still be the one for me
every moment I feel I'm slipping through your hands
I find another white lie to help me breathe
I find me another white lie 'til I can survive reality
but I find these little white lies are killing me

Background:
Music: strangely good, and not altogether that original. but loads of fun. a verse, a bridge, a chorus, not much more. I found a coooooool jam thing
for the middle. it's easy, but so good. ends up anywhere between 4:30 and 5:00 long.
Lyrics: words are words. or are they? finished before music, but not by much. (1/3/02)
