The Best Deceptions

I heard about your trip

I heard about your souvenirs

I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights

And the cool guys that you spent them with

I guess I should have heard of them from you

[Chorus]

Don't you see, 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

Cause 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 keeping you away

I heard about your regrets

I heard that you were feeling sorry

I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us

Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you

[Chorus]

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers

I'll be all right when my hands get warm

Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing

I'd rather you'd never heard my voice

You’re calling too late, too late to be gracious and you do not warrant long good-byes
