Deceptively Yours

i couldn't make a change

i might have known you

had found

another love

i sat at home all night

bask in the lonely pale

of my bedstand light

but through a tear in a curtain

in a cheap motel

i saw with jealous eyes

you made the call to lie

deceptively yours

i saw a black cloud

i didn't hear a sound

only the shell on the ground

there was a scream somewhere

and in the thick night air

i put the pedal down

as the sirens wailed

and i sat alone and prayed

not knowing what was to come

but through a tear in a curtain

in a cheap motel

i saw with jealous eyes

you made the call to lie

deceptively yours

i tried not to believe

the scene that could see

it felts like days passed by

before i turned away

i felt a dizzy sway

and the gun in my hand

stood before a judge

he cleared his throat to say

i won't give you no bail

shackled with chains or love

i knew that i had bought

my own coffin nails

i hear your sweet voice calling out my name

as i stare form a six foot cell

and from beyond i heard the words

deceptively yours
