Irony

White Liar by: Miranda Lambert

Hey white liar
the truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of your tongue like turpentine
and i don´t know why
white liar

you better be careful what you do
i wouldn´t wanna be in your shoes
if they ever found you out
you better be careful what you say
it never really added up any way
I got friends in this town

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of your tongue like turpentine
and I don´t know why
white liar

You said you went out to a bar
and walked some lady to her car
but your face has more to tell
cuz my cousin saw you on the street
with a red head named Bernice
Turns out you don´t lie too well

Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of your tongue like turpentine
and I don´t know why
white liar

Here´s a bombshell just for you
turns out I´ve been lying too

Yeah I´m a white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
and it spreads just like a fire
slips off of my tongue like turpentine
and I don´t know why
White Liar

This song shows situational irony when Miranda is accusing this boy of lying to her yet he tried to back himself up by saying that all he was doing was walking some lady to her car. Later in the song, she states "cuz my cousin saw you on the street,
with a red head named Bernice,Turns out you don´t lie too well." The fact that he wasn't such a good liar shows irony.

Here Comes Goodbye by: Rascal Flatts

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And its not like her to drive that slow, nothings on her radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell


Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought Id see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride

But here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear Im gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed(d)
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye


Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oh-oh-oh


Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

This song shows irony because he talks about how his girlfriend is pulling into the drive way of their home and everything shes doing isnt like herself. He says "and its not like her to drive that slow, with nothing on the radio." He is telling us how she usually drives fast and listens to music but wasn't tonight. This is irony because he senses the break up coming on and eventually it happens.
