Dream Mclean - White Lies lyrics

[Hook] Oh Lord, why do you love us? We lie to each other, we lie to our brothers We lie to our mothers, we lie to our lovers We lie to ourselves like it's fine, that's alright That's the truth, ignorance is bliss Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss I thought you knew, ignorance is bliss Ignorance is bliss, ignorance is bliss And that's the truth [Verse 1] She said why you lying to me? I said I'm just trying to be the person you're trying to see Ain't this what you wanted? She straight away responded with "I hate being lied to but I hate it when you're honest" If I'm honest, I locked it away in my subconscious And pretended it didn't matter, you were breaking what you'd promised to me How could you do this to me? You looked me in my eyes I said it's an ugly truth until you put it in disguise Oh Lord, who put you in the skies to watch over us And judge us like you never told a lie yourself? If it's a sin, send me right to hell But there's seven million that lied as well, it's a cry for help [Hook] [Verse 2] White lies, white wine, once bitten, twice shy You can't see the devil living life blind Truth hurts so you might find Ignorance is bliss for ya, ignorance is bliss for ya Wish you knew the truth but be careful what you wish for You asked for it, don't ask for it When deep down you don't want me to answer it If I told you I was a liar would you believe me? Would you see me, I wonder, or would you be Stevie? Yeah, just be ignorant to it all I swear I'll keep you up, if I don't I'll pick you up when you fall And I'll pick it up when you call, tell me what you wanna know You think you'd rather know until you find out Black presidents, white lies in the White House For crying out loud, now I'm crying out [Hook]
