The Best Deceptions

The Best Deceptions

Dashboard Confessional
(album: The Places You´ve Come To Fear The Most)

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.
I guess I should have heard of them from you.

Don´t you see, don´t you see,
that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and "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.
I guess I should have heard of that from you.

Don´t you see, don´t you see,
that the charade is over?
And all the "Best Deceptions" and "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 screams of other people´s lips will be of service
to keeping you away, to keeping you away.

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.
You´re calling too late
You´re calling too late
You´re calling too late.
