Deception
NamNamBulu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am trying to see why you would be a friend
That all things that you touch would break apart and shatter
That's the reason why our friendship had to end
I was giving all the things I had to offer
In return you took whatever you could get
I still hope that one day in your live you will discover
There is more to live than things you could regret
Why would you be acting so bizarre and selfish
Why are you so scared to show me what you feel
Why you measure all things by what you could accomplish
Where you could be holding on to something real
I had covered you for all your missbehaviour
Looking back you never cared for what I feel
Through the years I had never asked you for a favour
Now the only thing I ask is you to leave
This must end
All of the lies you're telling me
All the deceptions you're giving me
All of the times you made me wait
All of the friends that you betrayed
All of the things you're asking for
Nobody else is asking more
I really believed that you could change
