Verse 1
Started off great, you told me you could make me smile
Not like that other guy who made you cry
Told me we were meant to be like the stars were aligned
 

Chorus
You were deceiving and I was believing
 

Verse 2
First time away, driving in a place unknown, me not reading the map right, you with a sudden shift in tone
I cried inside you brushed it off
My reaction was the problem, you didn't even mean those cruel words
 

Chorus
You were deceiving and I was believing
 

Verse 3
I say, honey you’re driving too fast, please slow down
You pull over and tell me if I don’t like it get out
An uneasy feeling sunk in but I let it pass
 

Chorus
You were deceiving and I was believing
 

Verse 4
In one unexpected moment i saw it. All that time you’d been sneaking around.
And what hurt more was your coldness, accusing my being hurt as an attack
You tell me your a good man,  you've given me the world, I'd have nothing without you
That you picked me out of the gutter.  Imagine where you'd be if you hadn’t met me
 

Chorus
I believed and you deceived
 

Verse 5
I asked Why her? Why my friend? Why didn't you say you were unhappy
I said, "Let’s talk, I want to understand"
But you called me difficult for holding out my hand
 

Verse 6
You crushed my worth just to hold your head high, you had to justify your choices so you wouldn't be judged
you convinced your family to discard me
Like I didn’t change my religion, or name our kids for them.
I was so easily  replaced by her, like i meant nothing to them. Like I never even existed

Bridge
30 years I believed, 30 years you deceived
And now its 2 years later you act surprised when the only words i can find is hello. Just another thing you can twist and say see she’s not very kind
 

Outro
But noone knows and thats fine.
You still deceive... and I no longer believe
