Intro: Bm A Em
Bm G
Time won’t lie

I’ve suspected this for too long

I’m done trying

To convince you I’m worth holding on
Em
And it’s not right

To keep on leading me on, it’s a shame

It seems wrong to give up on what we’ve done
You’ve wasted, what could have been
A
Things will never change

Don’t be so surprised
G
I’m no longer hiding

From now on I won’t try
Em
I’ll just be your white lie

I conform how is it
Bm
That you’re never forlorn
And I’m thinking

I was not the fool here, was I?

I was not the fool here
Em
And it’s not right
G
To keep on leading me on
What I give isn't returned, it's a shame
Em G
It seems wrong to give up on what we’ve done
You’ve wasted, what could have been

Things will never change

Don’t be so surprised

I’m no longer hiding

I’ll just be your white lie

It still seems wrong

To spend so long getting lost

Then I come to find out

I was such a fool
A
And I never saw it coming

Don’t be so surprised
G
I’m no longer hiding

From now on I won’t try

I’ll just be your white lie

No longer hiding

No longer hiding
No longer hiding
Bm A
No longer hiding
Em
No longer hiding
No longer hiding
