White lies, late night, I cry
When you look at me with those eyes
When you look at me with those eyes
I see things you keep inside
When you look at me with those eyes
When you look at me with those eyes
I wish I didn't give it all away to you
Wish that there was something I had saved for me
Wish you didn't take it all away
Broke everything, so I
I had to change
Quick like a waterfall, all of a sudden like the rain
I wish I could have stayed the same
When I was moving too fast, like there's no liability on heartbreak
But you made me change
Oh, baby
All this time that we spent slowing it down
Oh, you the queen and you deserve your crown (my crown)
Time for me to stop playin' 'round
I can never rest, if you want it, girl, you got it
I made a mistake, I come back and I say sorry
I'ma stay awake, we gon' finish what we started
And if your heart breaks, I'ma fix it all tomorrow
Oh, girl, it feels like there's so much left for us
And even if the rain and hail falls down
I'll be there for us (yeah)
I wish I didn't give it all away to you
Wish that there was something I had saved for me (something I didn't say)
Wish you didn't take it all away
Take-take it all away (I'll take it all away)
White lies (sorry), I cry (sorry), inside (inside)
When you look at me with those eyes (with those eyes)
When you look at me with those eyes (girl, you know)
Got nothing (there's feelings involved) to hide
When you look at me with those eyes
When you look at me with those eyes
Ooh
