Little White Lie

I said it was the happiest day of my life

Then I slipped into the Sunday school room and cried

I was praying they were happy tears and I'd be all right

There's nothing wrong with a little white lie

I posed with all my new and old girlfriends

In the dresses we would never wear again

We shot tequila in communion cups to calm the butterflies

There's nothing wrong with a little white lie

So I sobered up

In the back of the line

Followed rose petals to the rest of my life

Said I would love him

Till the day that I died

And there's nothing wrong with a little white lie

Oh, there's nothing wrong with a little white lie

For a while, I half believed that we could do it

Playin' house, playin' nice till we outgrew it

Now it's, "Oh my God, what happened? At least you didn't have kids"

Movin' out on a long weekend

And I can hear the lonely echo in the kitchen

The kind that lets you know that something's missing

Take one last look through the closet behind my little black dress

And I find my little white lie

Covered in lace

Two sizes too small

Damn cabernet stain

They could never get off

How I was scared stiff

But I twirled through the night

Around and around in my little white lie

All covered in lace

Two sizes too small

Everything that I wanted I never wanted at all

Pull it down off the hanger

And I let myself cry

Into the arms of my little white lie

Oh, into the arms of my little white lie

Into the arms of my little white lie
