Beguiling - Lyrics - Sarge

And 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 that cried 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-off observations encasing sly retaliations they're declarations of defection from your beguiling new deceptions 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 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 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 at every show 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 and sweet retorts and it's been so long I can't remember what went wrong I miss you but I'm giving up
