Deceptive Heart

(album: Hope For The Broken - 2018)

Broken hearts and states apart
I'll take what you destroyed and turn it to art
I sold my soul for her devotions
In turn, she left me across the ocean
Forever in chains by these binding emotions
Forever enslaved
Taunting me back, back to the sea
My memories return like the tide
I wish I could forget, but can I forget
This fabricated bride?

I wish I could forget you!
I'm drowning. This can't be real

I won't let you consume me
So don't
Don't say you're sorry
I won't let you consume me
I know I'm not what you assume
Assume, assume
This time I'm done with you
I'm done with you
I'm done
I'm done with you

Lie after lie after lie after lie
Yet I stood here right by your side

L-O-V-E
This is going to be the death of me
L-O-V-E
You will always be my agony

I wish I could forget you!
I'm drowning. This can't be real

I won't let you consume me
So don't
Don't say you're sorry
I won't let you consume me
I know I'm not what you assume
Assume, assume
This time I'm done with you

You left me not knowing what to say
Is it supposed to end this way?
These years spent securing our future
When happily ever after didn't suit her
These years spent blinded by your glow
Now my eyes are open, you're someone I don't know
You're someone I don't know

Deceptive heart
Lord, lead me through the waters. It tears me apart
Fix what's been destroyed so I can restart
