White Lies

Pretty hurts if I tell you what’s real
Better to keep it and make it unclear.
Ask me but I’ll fake the truth.
Don’t force things that aren’t too smooth.

Lies are good if it’s needed.
Saves trembled bonds that are impeded.
 Bad but it’s for the best.
Worse turns to good if it’s for the rest.

Not all words should have said.
It may worsen things if you will just spread.
Tell white lies for the better.
Bars war for a good together.

Not all lies are dirty and bad.
Don’t let people feel lonely and sad.
Keep your lies a lie and stay it as is.
Don’t get in trouble that’ll put you on freeze.
