Wouldn't
Love's Deception: Simon Bernardo's Poignant Tale of Betrayal
Lyrics
Way back
Reflecting on the past
Before I knew
Prior to my understanding
Where this would go
Uncertain about the direction
Where you would take me
Where you would lead me
I thought just for a minute
Briefly considering
For a minute somethin' showed
A moment of revelation
But my judgement clouded
Judgment impaired
Yes I should've known
I should have been aware
A little bit'a bitter sugar
A hint of unpleasant sweetness
A little bit'a more of you
More of your presence
Said I wouldn't feel it
Claiming emotional detachment
But I knew, I knew
Yet acknowledging inner knowledge
To think that you would throw me away
Surprised by abandonment
Just when my plans were set
Just as plans solidified
To think that you would play these games
Discovering deceptive actions
Was treated like a pet
Treated with disrespect
I said that I would settle down
Expressing commitment to settle down
You thought it was a lie
Distrusted as dishonest
I said that I would stay with you yeah
Reiterating intention to stay
But you didn't let me try ooh huh
Obstructed from proving commitment
A little bit'a bitter sugar
Enduring a taste of bitter sweetness
A little bit'a more of you
Desiring more of your presence
Said I wouldn't feel it
Reaffirming resistance to emotional impact
But I knew, I knew yeah yuh
Acknowledging underlying awareness
Pa'passionate'a hunger
Intense and passionate desire
But no warmin' soup
But lacking emotional comfort
Said you wouldn't do it
False assurances not upheld
But that wasn't true yeah
Contradiction revealed
