Trickery

Hear the phone ring
Threw it right in the bag
Another sorry
Another empty confession
Why should I listen?
But chocolate and tears won’t fix what you’ve done
So tired of the phoniest love songs
I let this happen again
Tried to hold us on the right track
Then felt us crashing
How could this happen
We’re spinning round and round
Burning to the ground
Just to start over again

Where the record spun
I got lost in your arms
Counterfeit gentleman
Keeping me in the dark
A Lothario, now I know it
But I rested easy in your lies
You made it easy not to try
I let this happen again

Tried to hold us on the right track
Then felt us crashing
How could this happen
We’re spinning round and round
Burning to the ground
Just to start over again

What do you want from me?
I won’t accept your apology
Needy and on your knees
With trickery up your sleeves
You should be proud of me
I’ve mastered your apathy

Tried to hold us on the right track, I hear your objections
Then felt us crashing, saying a course correction
How could this happen
We’re spinning round and round, I’ve simply outgrown
Burning to the ground, all your hidden weapons
Just to start over again, I’m nothing if not driven
It’s time to create my own road
To never start over again
