"White Lies" Lyrics

**gavel bangs**
All rise
The Honorable Judge Gideon residing
Case # 0007
The People vs. Bridget Kelly
Ms. Kelly how do you plead

If I may throw myself upon the mercy
The mercy of the jury of the court
This all was just a big misunderstanding
I'll start from the beginning
And lead us to the spot
No foul play or no plot

I heard noises coming from upstairs when I walked into my house
No one was 'posed to be there
Strictly for protection purposes wass when I pulled my gun out
Emptied the clip
And realized that

Oh no, I didn't mean to shoot him dead
(White lies, white lies)
I didn't mean to kill him and whoever he was in bed with
(White lies, white lies)

Of course I know what this looks like to you
I caught that motherfucker cheating
So I gave him just due
But I promise that's not true

How was I supposed to know that it was him and not some murderous fool
The fact that he was cheating
Judge I promise it had nothing to do
With why I reloaded twice
I was scared everything happened so fast
It was dark, I could barely see anything
By the time I could make out who it was
They were screaming, bleeding
And all I could say was

Oh no, I didn't mean to shoot him dead
(White lies, white lies)
I didn't mean to kill him and whoever he was in bed with
(White lies, white lies)
