Little White Lie lyrics with English Translations
Once upon a time there was a happy family (a sweet little baby)
There was a baby girl, a daddy,
And there was a mommy (a sweet little baby)
Mommy kept a secret, she told a little white lie,
And when she tucked the baby in at night,
She sang her this lullaby.
You got your daddy's smile, you got his eyes, I feel my heart breaking every time you cry. I'm gonna burn in hell, but it's no sacrifice, Your stability is worth a million lies. I see your daddy, in everything you do, And if you could talk, I'll bet you'll talk like him too. But he can't be your daddy, I hope you understand, The man who thinks he's your father, is a much better man. Maybe one day, you'll end up crying on Rikki Lake, But baby it's a chance your momma's willing to take. Ain't no reason you should suffer for my mistake.
And so I lie, baby I try, and it kills me inside, But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die. And I hurt, baby, oh how I hurt, But I know what you're worth, yeah. So I'm gonna live with this, Until I hit the dirt, someday.
And every day by herself, the momma cried and cried, But at night she smiled when the daddy was by her side. There were times she almost told him, and it really broke her heart, But she forced herself to keep the secret that was tearing her apart.
Now I can't sleep at night, I've lost my appetite, Everybody keeps saying, And I tell them that every newborn baby looks the same, While I'm praying to God, "Please make your colour change." The emotions on his face when he's looking at you, I couldn't tell he ain't your papa even if I wanted to, He's got your picture tattooed on his arm, Now he's bragging to his friends about his firstborn. Oh God, and I love him, really I do, if he ever found out, It would kill me too, now I'm caught between a rock and a. Really hard place I'd give anything to keep that smile on his face.
And so I lie, baby I try, and it kills me inside, But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die. And I hurt, baby, oh how I hurt, But I know what you're worth, yeah. So I'm gonna live with this, Until I hit the dirt, someday.
Mommy kept the family together the best way she could, The truth would do more harm than good. What the daddy didn't know, didn't hurt him, He had no cause to fret, And that's as close to happily ever after as anyone can get.
Chorus out..
