The Best Deceptions

I heard about your trip
I heard about your souvenirs
I heard about the cool breeze
And the cool nights
And the cool guys
That you spent them with

I guess I should have heard of them from you
Don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you

So kiss me hard, because this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss
That tells of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away

I heard about your regrets
I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone
That wish you could set things right between us

I guess I should have heard of that from you
Don't you see that the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you

So kiss me hard, because this will be the last time that I let you
You will be back someday
And this awkward kiss
That screams of other people's lips
Will be of service to giving you away

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
I'll be alright when my hands get warm
Ignoring the phone
I'd rather see nothing
I'd rather you never heard my voice
You're calling too late
Too late to be gracious
You do not warrant long goodbyes
You're calling too late

You're calling too late...
