The heart is the most deceitful thing of all

lyrics

What's so great about you anyway?
You were always on my case
Too anxious to make me your own
And my heart got so carried away
But I'm floating down to earth
And my feet are back on the ground
Illusions are dispersed
I can see so clearly now

The lie that I believed
Was more beautiful than the truth
We all let our hearts deceive
When we want something bad enough

Just because I wrote this song
Doesn't mean I'm still thinking about you in fact
My tear ducts are fairly dry these days
The crumbs you fed to me
I made into a feast
Malnourished and diseased
I followed you with glowing eyes

The dreams that I had weaved
They carried me in spite of you
We all let our hearts deceive
When we want we something bad enough, bad enough

I am a deflated balloon
Skipping on the ground
A deflated balloon
Skipping on the ground
A deflated balloon
Skipping on the ground
A deflated balloon
Skipping on the ground
