Convictions

Deceptive Heart

Convictions


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 know what not to 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 know what not to 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
