oh what a beautiful deception.
never saw it coming
through the back door
up the stairs
tangled in your bedspread

as you stand poised for perfection
let me choke on my convictions
cause if your cheating
it's only decent
to close the blinds dear

honestly we’re miserable
can’t you see we owe this to ourselves
if it's ever working out
if this is it just say the words
happiness is not pretentious
if we've earned it and we do this for ourselves

transition from saint to sinner comes so naturally now
yet so much faster
my eyes are on her dress but my mind is on the zipper down her back

now your bodies keep on moving
dancing shadows on the curtains
watch you reap
what you've sown
you chose your ending

you don’t know i’ve seen you kiss him
it's okay though i deserve it
say the words
choke them off
forget to breathe in

please don’t say it's you not me
because we both know if that were true
you wouldn’t need him in your bed
from your front porch i’ve seen enough
i can't believe that i believed you
that i bought into every single word you said

transition from saint to sinner comes so naturally now
yet so much faster
my eyes are on her dress but my mind is on the zipper down her back

someday we will both lead different lives
someday we won’t have to hurt ourselves to pass the time
someday we will forget all about what we have done
someday we wont have to stare down the barrel of this

transition from saint to sinner comes so naturally now
yet so much faster
my eyes are on her dress but my mind is on the zipper down the small of her back
that's where i'll die tonight
