White Lies - Denial

You look from the roof to the smoke on good nights Tall dreams at the beck of the stars seem alright Your heart aglow 'Cause you know, you know It was all raised up for your life For your eyes You live in the quiet that was sewn for good wives Four kids - with the cat, might as well be called five Oh, you know, you know It's all for show The city winks at your smile It's your style You know it's not denial Not denial, not denial Time is a fickle thrill It's not denial, not denial And there's a kind of heat You leave behind when you go It's not denial Not denial, not denial You lust for a love with the feel of old shoes Great highs never brand, but the lows are all bruise They know, they know 'Cause a childhood shows A prize is hard to refuse No excuse You swear you'll come home in the week of New Year No leaves on the oaks, oh, the past is too near Oh, you know, you know How they miss you so Wish you all the best with old tears With old fears You know it's not denial Not denial, not denial Time is a fickle thrill It's not denial, not denial And there's a kind of heat You leave behind when you go It's not denial Not denial, not denial You know it's not denial Not denial, not denial Time is a fickle thrill It's not denial, not denial And there's a kind of heat You leave behind when you go It's not denial Not denial, not denial
