White Lies
Max Frost Lyrics

I'm picking up really sketch vibes
The singer is sensing some suspicious activity from their partner.

My woman's been telling me lies
The singer's partner has been dishonest with them.

About other men
The partner has lied about interactions with other men.

About where she's been hanging
The partner has lied about where they have been spending their time.

Suspicious thoughts in my mind
The artist is thinking negatively and expects something might be wrong.

Been brewing up over time
These negative thoughts have been growing and building up for some time.

"He's just a friend,"
The partner has referred to another man as just a friend.

When to me he's a stranger
The artist does not know this man and is suspicious of him.

I can hold no evidence
The artist has no proof or evidence of any wrongdoing.

But I can't think emotionless
However, the artist's instincts and feelings are telling them something is wrong.

And something in your choice of dress
The partner's choice of clothing is suspicious to the singer.

Tonight can lead to just one guess
Based on their partner's outfit, the artist believes they are going to do something wrong.

White Lies
The partner is telling lies that are relatively small and seemingly insignificant.

You try
The partner is attempting to deceive the singer.

Can't blind my eyes
Regardless of the partner's attempts, the singer can still see the truth.

You got your red dress on
The partner is wearing a red dress that the artist finds suspicious.

And you want to play
The artist believes their partner is up to something and trying to hide it.

Like I can't know things that I've never seen
The singer is aware that their partner is trying to prevent them from knowing the truth.

It's been keeping me up every night
The singer's anxiety and negative thoughts have been affecting their sleep.

Most of the time
Usually, the artist struggles to fall asleep because of their thoughts.

I toss and turn in bed and I try
The artist finds it difficult to fall asleep and settle their mind.

Not to explode
The artist is trying to control their emotions despite their negative thoughts.

When you arrive
When the partner comes home or returns to the singer's presence.

Sneaking through the door
The artist perceives their partner as trying to enter quietly and undetected.

Like it ain't 5
This action seems suspicious to the singer, as if the partner is hiding something they were doing late at night.

Like this house ain't mine
The singer feels like their partner is overstepping their boundaries and authority within the shared home.

Knowing that thoughts are a sin
The singer is aware that thoughts of suspicion and mistrust are not necessarily healthy or productive.

And so I'll say it again
The artist wants to emphasize their point once more.

White Lies
The partner is still telling lies that the artist believes are relatively small and seemingly insignificant.

You try
The partner is still attempting to deceive the singer.

Can't blind my eyes
Regardless of the partner's attempts, the singer can still see the truth.

You got your red dress on
The partner is still wearing the red dress that the artist finds suspicious.

And you want to play
The partner is still up to something and trying to hide it.

Like I can't know things that I've never seen
The artist is still aware that their partner is trying to prevent them from knowing the truth.

I'm picking up really sketch vibes
Returning to the beginning of the song, the singer is still sensing some suspicious activity from their partner.
