Getting Even - White Lies

So if you go and leave recklessly

We can only be mean, we can only be mean

That’s something I, through the terms of my life

Never wanted to be, never wanted to be

But if you stay just a bolt in the ball

Then you’ll never know, then you’ll never know

How you could miss like the daylight the way

You’re missing us now, you’re missing us now

So listen to some reason, there’s nothing in your dreams

But if you’re getting even, you’re getting even

Trying to get even, better start believing

I can forgive, and we can forget

Even after all this love and other nonsense we’ve made

Now if we kiss, then the moon in the sky

Will linger awhile, will linger awhile

So as to gift just an inch more of night

But you break from my life, no more kiss, no more I

But listen to some reason, there’s nothing in your dreams

But if you’re getting even, you’re getting even

Trying to get even, better start believing

I can forgive, and we can forget

Even after all this wrestling of conscience

I can forgive, and we can forget

Even after all this love and other nonsense

It’s the worst part of the best of me, best of me

Love and trying so hard to be free

Worst of the best of me, best of me

Love and trying so hard to be free

Lonely but free and out of love

If you’re getting even, you’re getting even

If you’re getting even, you’re getting even

If you’re getting even, you’re getting even

Trying to get even, better start believing

I can forgive, and we can forget

Even after all this wrestling of conscience

I can forgive, and we can forget

Even after all this love and other nonsense

You’re getting even, you’re getting even

And I can forgive, and we can forget

You’re getting even, you’re getting even

And I can forgive, and we can forget

You’re getting even, you’re getting even

And I can forgive, and we can forget

You’re getting even, you’re getting even

And I can forgive, and we can forget

You’re getting even
