Lyrics

Everyone has a story to tell
Truth can't be found, till lies are dispelled
Like the world, our lives are full of deceit

Suspicions arise you can't explain
We're all looking for someone to blame
Like the world, our lives are full of deceit

Your disguise makes it hard to see
The way you feel when it comes to me
Is our love simply a betrayal?
A dark and cold portrayal of a romance doomed to fail?

Deception is how you control
But what is the damage it's done to your soul
Like the world, our lives are full of deceit

There's so much you keep concealed
Your secrets haunt you until they're revealed
Like the world, our lives are full of deceit.
