Deceit: Verse 3

All the other guys

Say that you're a liar.

Like I'm a piece of paper

That you'll set on fire.

You're so beautiful,

But is that an excuse

For the way that you lie?

I can't take the abuse!

I guess I gave you the rope,

Hoping you wouldn't hang me.

I'm suffocating now,

I can barely breathe.

But somehow I still

Can find the breath to say

That even though you're a demon,

I love you anyway.
