The Best Deceptions Lyrics
I heard about your trip. I heard about your souvenirs. I heard about the cool breeze, in the cool nights, and the cool guys that you spen them with. Well i guess i should have heard of them from you. I guess i should have heard of them from you.
Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over? And all the "Best Deceptions" and "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you.
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that i let you. You will be back someday and this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips will be of service to keeping you away.
I heard about your regrets. I heard that you were feeling sorry. I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us. Well I guess i should have heard of that from you. I guess i should have heard of that from you.
Don't you see, don't you see that the charade is over? And all the "Best Deceptions" and the "Clever Cover Story" awards go to you.
So kiss me hard 'cause this will be the last time that I let you. You will be back someday and this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips will be of service to keeping you away. To keeping you away.
I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers. I'll be alright when my hands get warm. Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing. I'd rather you never heard my voice. You're calling too late, too late to be gracious, and you do not warrant long good byes. You're calling too late. Your calling too late. You're calling too late.

I feel like this song speaks to those guys who's ever been lied to. If something like this has ever happened to you, you know how it feels. The song captures the emotion perfectly and is easy to relate to. At most, its soothing to all those who has ever had a broken heart from a lover's lie. There is someone else that understands.
this song is awesome..
"I heard about your regrets. I heard that you were feeling sorry. I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us. Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you"
that's my favorite part of the song..
This song is supposedly a very emotional one for Chris along with THIS BITTER PILL. I guess he never sings the "I'm waiting for blood..etc.." part cuz he will start to cry. Again this is just what I hear.
THIS SONG IS INCREDIBLE! Just the passion of the lyrics and intensity is..oh yea. This seems to pass with to me like, his girlfriend went on a trip or vacation, and friends saw her with other guys, etc. And how he had to hear EVERYTHING from the friends, because his girlfriend didn't tell him anything. But she didn't tell her he knows and she's trying to play it off "don't you see the charade is over? and all the best deceptions and clever cover story awards go to you" ...sniff...tear...cry...
err, i meant in my previous post, -he didn't tell her he knows- sorry, -thx
this song is kickass. i love it, its very real. i can totally see where he's coming from. <<ignoring the phone, id rather say nothing, id rather you never heard my voice>> i think i relate to that a little too well. winces anyways, this song is very touching.
hmm... there were supposed to be words in those <> thingies. what was there was "ignoring the phone, id rather say nothing, id rather you never heard my voice."
This song leaves me speechless literally. It explains how love gone wrong is seen as a charade. I totally agree...I really can't put my feelings on this song into words...
yes. yes to all. the end is great. puts the emotional in emo...
dashboard know just how to explain how your feeling, he can take his emotions and turn them into something that we can understand and even relate to
