Everybody goes out trying to find a friend in another but they don't know why

Say we're gonna do our best but I've seen our best and we hardly try

Let em fade away now let em disappear and you're staring at a private sky

Think I'm gonna live my best tonight

Cause I know that I can't change

Wanna believe in strangers, I know you feel the same

I can't nurture every flame

You're not the odd one out here for feeling it's insane

Oh, what do you think you're owed

For all the days you spent in bed?

Oh, what does it take to know

What you should have done instead?

He told a little white lie, she leans a little bit closer

She told a little white lie, I lose a little composure

I go a little ways out, run till my body feels older

He told a little white lie, I lose a little composure

Thumbing through your pictures trying to catch a memory take you to a different time

Craving a connection, every time you open up you get another knife

Feeling like there's no one gonna understand you what's the point of even trying

How you gonna be your best tonight?

But we can't tell someone to change

Even if they don't love you it doesn't mean you're strange

As you feel your terror fade

You'll never have been more open, and that's a kind of strength

Oh, what do you think you're owed

For all the days you spent in bed?

Oh, what does it take to know

What you should have done instead?

He told a little white lie, she leans a little bit closer

She told a little white lie, I lose a little composure

I go a little ways out, run till my body feels older

He told a little white lie, I lose a little composure
