Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I've been trying to find myself through you
And I can't seem to get off my horse and fly (Fly)
Pegasus can't see through the dark skies
[Chorus]
So, I'ma giddy up, giddy up
Your love's a white lie
Baby, you let your light shine
And now I know your love's a white lie
Baby, you let your light shine
And now I know your love's a white lie
Baby, you let your light shine
Baby, you let your light shine (White lie, white lie)
Baby, you let your light shine
(And now I-I-I-I-)
(And now I-I-I-)
(And now I know your-)
[Verse 2]
I think I'm lost
Don't need no one to tell me
And I numb the pain that I have
And I know that, that ain't healthy
And if I reach out to you, would you help me?
[Refrain]
Baby, it takes some time to T-R-U-S-T
I guess we need to get up and try
You know that I'm on your side
Baby, it takes some time to T-R-U-S-T
I guess we need to get up and try
You know that I'm on your side
[Bridge]
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-woah-woah-oh
Da-do, da-da-da-do
Da-do-do, da-do
Da-do-do-do
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-woah-woah-oh
Da-do, da-da-da-do
Da-do-do, da-do
Da-do-do-do
[Chorus]
So, I'ma giddy up, giddy up
Your love's a white lie
Baby, you let your light shine
And now I know your love's a white lie
Baby, you let your light shine
(And now I-I-I-I-)
(And now I-I-I-)
(And now I know your-)
