Letra de Little White Lie
Once upon a time there was a happy family There was a baby girl, a daddy and there was a mommy Mommy had a secret, she told a little white lie When she tucked the baby in at night, she sang her this lullabyYou 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 liesI 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 manMaybe one day, you'll end up crying on Rikki Lake But baby it's a chance your momma's willing to take 'Cause I love you even if my heart is gonna break Ain't no reason you should suffer for my mistakeAnd so I lie and baby I try and it kills me inside, yeah 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, somedayAnd everyday 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 apartNow I can't sleep at night, I've lost my appetite Everybody keeps saying, "The baby looks kind of light" And I tell them, "Every newborn baby looks the same" While I'm praying to God, please make your color changeAnd the emotions on his face when he's looking at you I couldn't tell him, he ain't your papa if I wanted to He's got your picture tattooed on his arm Now he's bragging to his friends about his firstbornOh 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 faceSo I lie, baby I try and it kills me inside, yeah 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, somedayMommy kept the family together the best way she could 'Cause she knew in this case the truth would do more harm than good What 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 getOh how 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
