Story behind the song
It's a composite of the few people that I've known who feel that they have to exaggerate to be liked. Told from the point of view of the woman who gets sucked into a relationship with such a man.
Lyrics
verse:
Little white lies and half-truths.
Hints of brilliance without proof.
It's all there in your rendition.
I should have listened to my suspicions.
chorus:
Things aren't what they seem to be
You play with the edges of reality.
You've driven off some of your friends.
Others try to comprehend.
verse:
The facts have a way of coming out.
Somebody we'll learn what it's all about
Witty conversation has been your bait,
Reeling me in like the catch of the day.
chorus
instrumental bridge
verse:
Maybe your real life isn't good enough.
The way you always embellish and bluff.
The lines you fed me were so smooth.
Full of little white lies and half truths
chorus
bridge:
I should have played it safe again
I'd be better off in the end
Without listening to
verse:
Little white lies and half-truths.
Hints of brilliance without proof.
(instrumental)
