Deception Lyrics

Deception lyrics

(The Backroom Boys)
How can you say, "I love you"
When you mock me the
way you do ?
How can I but your heart despise
When all you give to me
are lies ?
Love is just an empty word
And no true sentiment
conferred
You offer love that's incomplete
I've looked for trust but
found deceit
How can you say, "I love you"
(Please don't vex my soul
this way)
When you mock me the way you do ?
(Tormenting me from day
to day)
How can I but your heart despise
(I cannot keep my mind from
you)
When all you give to me are lies ?
(I'll tell you what you want
me to)
Love is just an empty word
(God provides my strength and
might)
And no true sentiment conferred
(For I have been a
Nazirite)
You offer love that's incomplete
(Cut my hair and as I
speak,)
I've looked for trust but found deceit
(Like other men, I
shall be weak)
