White Lies
VIZE Tokio Hotel Lyrics

Do you believe it, -lieve it
Asking the listener if they will trust that what is being said is true

When I say it's you I needed, uh-uh
Admitting that the singer is in need of someone in their life

It's like I'm dreamin', dreamin'
Expressing a feeling of disbelief or surrealness

'Cause you help me stop the bleedin', yeah
Acknowledging that the person being addressed has helped heal emotional pain

Don't wanna be alone tonight
Expressing a desire for companionship

Don't think too much, just turn off the lights
Suggesting that the singer wants to temporarily forget about their problems and just enjoy the moment

Back and forth like all of the time
Emphasizing that the situation is uncertain and constantly changing

Know it's a lot but just don't think twice
Encouraging the listener to not overanalyze the situation

Where to go, I don't even know
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about the future

Only big white lies to get by 'cause
Admitting to telling lies in order to avoid facing the truth

I've been telling you white lies so you would stay
Admitting to manipulating the person being addressed in order to keep them around

So you can feel it, feel it
Asserting that there is a genuine emotional connection between the artist and the listener

There's this crazy thing between us, uh huh
Describing the intense and unusual nature of the relationship

Don't need a reason, reason
Expressing that the relationship doesn't need an explanation or justification

The way you act, I wanna be there, oh-oh
Admitting that the behavior of the person being addressed is appealing to the singer

Only big white lies to get by 'cause
Admitting to telling lies in order to avoid facing the truth

I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side
Expressing a desire for the person being addressed to remain close to the artist

I just don't know where to go, I don't even know
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about the future

Only big white lies to get by 'cause
Admitting to telling lies in order to avoid facing the truth

I've been telling you white lies so you would stay
Admitting to manipulating the person being addressed in order to keep them around

Stay here by my side
Expressing a desire for the person being addressed to remain close to the artist

Only big white lies to get by
Admitting to telling lies in order to avoid facing the truth
