White Lies - Nothing To Give Lyrics






You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn't felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favorite fables
Which I am yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I've got nothing to give

I wish I could say
That I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more
To pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold
But as you said goodbye I almost died
I almost died

I take it back all of it
Those names I called myself
The heroes of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back those promises
I made to everyone
I'm falling through a ribbon last
Before I'd learn to run

I wish I could say
That I've got no regrets
But saying that would be one more
To pile on my desk
I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold
But as you said goodbye I almost died
I almost died
I almost died

White Lies Nothing To Give Comments
  1. J.... R....

    february 2019, ten years later. Powerful and emotional song, as the first day I listened to.

  2. B.... S....

    When I was a teenage I used to listen to this and I always liked it, but at the time I was so innocent about the meaning of this. Now, ten years later, I can really feel this lyric and I can say that I learned a lot, and I lived things, and now there's regrets to pile on my desk, and in some night in 2016 someone said goodbye to me, and yes, I almost died too. I used to think when I was a teenage "is it possible to feel like this?" And somehow I wanted to know how it was. Now I do.

    Yeah, I don't know why they don't include him as a full member of the band; he always plays at their gigs and the keyboard is a big part of their sound.

    I love this song and I love white lies..but I saw them to live in Udine and there was a fourth man who played the keyboard and he was very good and very cute:):):):)
