LITTLE WHITE LIES
We met on open streets
Where we both had no place to go
I remember how my heart beat
I remember how my heart beat
When you said "Oh Billy I love you
so"
Now, standing in the doorway
Now, standing in the doorway
Did you ever think that we could look
this old
Victims of the little white lies that we told
We did not count tomorrows
Victims of the little white lies that we told
We did not count tomorrows
We took what we could and ran
There was no time for sorrow
There was no time for sorrow
Every place you went I held your hand
And when the night closed in
And when the night closed in
I was sure your kisses told me all I had
to know
But they never whispered
But they never whispered
The little white lies that we told
It was so good at the start
It was so good at the start
Nothing could ever pull it apart
Running hand in hand through the rain
Running hand in hand through the rain
But soon the heart break, soon the pain,
girl
There were no cold denials
There were no cold denials
Nobody really lied
It wasn't in the things we said, girl
It wasn't in the things we said, girl
Just time spent, promises implied
And when it began to fall apart
And when it began to fall apart
Eaten quietly away from the inside
Bit by bit by those little white lies
Bit by bit by those little white lies
Now standing in the doorway
Did you ever think
Ever think that we could look this old
Victims of the little white lies that we told
Victims of the little white lies that we told
Now lying here in the dark
Did you ever think
Ever think that we could be this cold
Just as cold as the little white lies that we told
Little white lies
Little white lies
Just as cold as the little white lies that we told
Little white lies
Little white lies
MENTIRAS PIADOSAS
Nos conocimos en las calles
Cuando no había otro sitio adónde ir
Recuerdo cómo latió mi corazón
Cuando dijiste: “¡Oh, Billy. Te quiero tanto!”
Ahora esperamos en el portal
¿Pensaste en vernos tan viejos algún día
Víctimas de las mentiras piadosas que contamos?
No contábamos mañanas
Cogíamos lo que podíamos y huíamos
No había tiempo para tristeza
Adonde fuéramos te cogía de la mano
Y cuando la noche caía
Estaba seguro que tus besos me dirían cuanto
necesitaba
Pero nunca nos susurraron
Las mentiras piadosas que contamos
Fue tan perfecto al principio
Nada podría nunca separarnos
Corríamos de la mano bajo la lluvia
Pero el corazón se quebró y llegó el dolor
No hubo frías acusaciones
Nadie mintió en realidad
No fueron las cosas que dijimos
Sólo tiempo perdido, promesas ciegas
Y todo empezó a derrumbarse
Devorados en silencio desde el interior
Poco a poco, por esas mentiras piadosas
Ahora esperamos en el portal
¿Alguna vez pensaste
Pensaste en vernos tan viejos algún día
Víctimas de las mentiras piadosas que contamos?
Acostados en la oscuridad
¿Alguna vez pensaste
Pensaste que podríamos helarnos
Tan helados como las mentiras piadosas que contamos
Mentiras piadosas…
Mentiras piadosas…
