Deceiver Lyrics by McGovern

2018

She's never close enough to care
It's just a game
Believe her
Can't be sure she's even there
Calling my name
Deceiver

She's a raven in the dark
Easily missed
I see her
Come to tear my world apart
Crawl through the mist
'Cos I need her

She's never close enough to care
It's just a game
Believe her
Can't bе sure she's evеn there
Calling my name
Deceiver

Hopeless infatuation
Never seems to leave
See her transformation
Into what I need

Who knows the price of salvation
But god knows it ain't free
Darling please be patient
Will you wait for me?

The air is all I need

Like a raven in the dark
Easily missed
I see her
Come to tear my world apart
Crawl through the mist
'Cos I need her

She's never close enough to care
It's just a game
Believe her
Can't be sure she's even there
Calling my name
Deceiver...

(Over and over I swear I was older but I'd always come back to you)
Over and over I swear I was older but I'd aways come back to you
Over and over I swear I was older but I'd aways come back to you

[Instrumental]

Maybe it's the talons of talent
That tuck themselves away in your hand
They puncture me and knock me off balance
But maybe that was always your plan

Well I said
Maybe it's the talons of talent
That tuck themselves away in your hand
Well they puncture me and knock me off (off balance) balance
But maybe that was always your plan

I said
Well maybe it's the talons of talent
(oh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...)
That tuck themselves away in your hand
(.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Well they puncture me and knock me off (off balance) balance
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....)
Well maybe that was always your (over and-) plan

-over I swear I was over but I'd always come back to you
(Maybe that was always your plan)
Over and over I swear I was over but I'd always come back to you

Like a raven in the dark
I see her
Come to tear my world apart
I need her
She's never close enough to care
Believe her
Can't be sure she's even there
Can't be sure she's even there
