Little White Lies
One Direction Lyrics

If this room was burning
Even if there was a crisis happening, I wouldn't be aware because I am too preoccupied with you.

I wouldn't even notice
I am so focused on you that nothing else matters, even if it's urgent.

'Cause you've been taking up my mind
I am unable to stop thinking about you and you're constantly on my mind.

With your little white lies, little white lies
I am aware that you're not completely truthful with me, and it's causing doubts in my mind.

You say it's getting late
You're aware of time and it's as if you're trying to find an excuse to leave.

And you don't know if you can stay
It seems like you don't want to be here with me anymore.

No you, you like playing games
I know you're being dishonest with me, and it seems like you might be doing it intentionally, almost like you're playing a game.

Your hands touching me, they're touching me
Your physical touch is affecting me deeply.

And your eyes keep saying things
Your eyes are telling me things that you're not expressing verbally.

They say what we do
Your eyes express interest in what we could potentially do if we were alone.

When it's only me and you
In private settings, when we are alone, our relationship differs from how it is when there are others around.

I can't concentrate
Your presence has completely distracted me and I am unable to focus on anything else.

That's all I'm thinking about
You are constantly on my mind and I can't stop thinking about you.

All I keep thinking about
It's as if you have taken over my thoughts and I can't focus on anything else.

Everything else just fades away
When I am with you, everything else seems to disappear, and all that matters is you.

You say you're a good girl
You claim to be a well-behaved person.

But I know you would girl
I have a feeling that you're not as good as you claim to be.

'Cause you've been telling me all night
Throughout the night, you have been telling me things that don't seem completely truthful.

Back seat of the cab
We are sitting in the back of a taxi.

My lips getting so attached
Our physical interaction has reached a point where I am becoming emotionally attached to you.

Now you wanna make some rules
It seems like you want to establish some boundaries for our relationship.

Now cool then we'll watch them break tonight
We're going to establish boundaries, but it's likely that we will end up crossing them later tonight.

I know what you want
I am aware of your desires and intentions.

And I've been waiting so long
I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

I know you want it
I am aware that you desire what I am offering.

I know you feel it too
I am certain that you are feeling the same way as I do.

Let's stop pretending
We should stop pretending we don't want the same thing.

That you don't know what I don't know
You are aware that I know what's going on here, even if we don't speak about it explicitly.

Just what we came to do
Our intentions coming into this were clear, and we should act on them.

With your little white lies, little white lies
You have been deceiving me in small ways, and it's causing me to doubt the authenticity of our relationship.
