-VERSE- Can you leave a light, leave a light on When I’m gone Don’t delete my number, ever wonder Where I’ve gone -PRECHORUS- I won’t ask for much And I won’t even deny -CHORUS- Sometimes little lies, the little lies They’re alright In my mind, in my mind Oh all night Holding on, to what went wrong Sometimes the little lies Sometimes the little lies are right
