Beguiling Songtext
von Sarge

I tried to pin you down at 3am
By 5, looks like you′ve won me over again
I've spent the last year watching you deteriorate
You′re a likable bully, all along it's been my mistake

'Cause all these nuanced conversations
With pride for quiet consolations
Were affectations of affection
That stemmed from suggestive rejections
And still I loved your lilting anger
Dissected every word you sang there
Now I know every loaded line
I′ve heard them all too many times

But I don′t believe you anymore
This insincerity is starting to bore me
And I can't figure out what′s wrong with you
When these indiscretions start anew
And I'm torn


I thought I′d gotten through to you, but then
Next day looked like you'd one-upped me again
Your machinations leave me speechless and resigned
And while I won′t deny your talent
I'm gonna quit wasting my time

Note all these ripped up observations
Encasing sly retaliation
They're declarations of defection
From your beguiling new deception
But I still love the way you eye me
You gauge my temper, satisfy me
And you′re so quick to realign
But I′ve heard that song too many times

And I don't believe you anymore
This insincerity is starting to bore me
And I can′t figure out what's wrong with you
When these false confessions start anew
And I′m torn

So why'd you have to change?


Or have you always been this way?
I miss the way you were before you figured out that I′m not yours
And it clearly shows
I'm just another face in your front row
But now I know you're so alone
So why′d you have to change?
Do you ever miss me the same way?
I miss our long talks on the porch
With shifting eyes as we′d retort
And it's been so long

I can′t remember what went wrong
I miss you, but I'm giving up
