“Tell me lies, tell me sweet, little lies.”
Everyone’s guilty of a little white lie from time to time.
Little lies to protect someone’s peace aren’t so bad and can usually be glossed over.
“Tell me lies, tell me sweet, little lies."
It’s the big lies, and the outlandish ones, that aren’t so easily forgiven or forgotten.
They snapped a few photos for proof and sent them to you.
When you asked your partner where they’d been, they claimed they had been working late.
Maybe you had a friend growing up who always told outrageous, fabricated stories.
She claimed she couldn’t show you the pictures because they asked her not to share them.
In reality, she went to the show with her older sister and sat in the nosebleeds.
She swore by her lie foryears.
Or, perhaps you went on a blind date with your coworker’s brother.
He told you all about the year he spent living in Italy and painting for small, local galleries.
You thought that was so cool and you brought it up to your coworker the next day.
She immediately got tense and said, “Oh, he never lived in Italy.
I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
