Lyrics Beguiling - Sarge

Beguiling

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
