Deception, behind my back
I'm getting ready for an attack
gotta put up the walls
cause shots are firing soon
Deception, please give me a break
I've had just about all I can take
So many faces, so many lies
can't you give me an honest girl or guy?
So much for love, so much for friends
who never follow through on their amends
so in goes the knife, defenses down
I wish I had the money to escape this town

So there you are, and I am here
Waving goodbye. Deceptions ready to die
There you are, and I am here
Questioning why I'm here tonight
To tell you how I've been down and out?
cause it's times like these when I have
to free my mind

Deception split my heart in two
I'm not the same person as I was in youth
I'm a heartless junkie, Ignorant of the truth
Deception keeps me up for a fight
now an honest person walks into my life
Can your solitude help me divorce this strife?

So there you are, and I am here
Waving goodbye. Deceptions ready to die
There you are, and I am here
Questioning why I'm here tonight
To tell you how I've been down and out?
Well, I'ts only times like these when I
meet someone like you

Won't you free my mind?
