White Lies Lyrics
White Lies - Classic
Lyrics by:Ashley Bundang
Composed by:Sophie McComish/Ashley Bundang/Christie Crawford
The was a girl early in my life
We were just like sisters
I am brown she was white
We didn't see the difference
The years went by and something had changed
Her voice became louder and they listened a bit closer
Suddenly I was defined by the colour of my skin
As I lost out with the one I was born in
I wanted to be like you
I wanted to be in your skin
I tried to be just like you
Living your bright life
Living your white life
Telling some white lies
To get me through
Through my young eyes you had a perfect life
I felt like I was falling behind
I was told who was beautiful and that wasn't me
I learned to reject myself and my family
My family
I wanted to be like you
I wanted to be in your skin
I tried to be just like you
Living your bright life
Living your white life
Telling some white lies
To get me through
Living your bright life
Living your white life
Living your bright life
Living your white life
Living your white life
Living your white life
Living your white life
Living your white life
Living your white life
Living your white life
Living your white life
