Cat Power - Metal Heart lyrics

Every time we have this conversation

You build me up just to tear me down

Clearly it's a problem with your conscience

While I'm the one who's left on zero ground

Oh, dark deception

Baby, it's not easy being humble

You're out to fool the world one more time

We must seem like the outlaw and the actor

Spellbound while the other steals your lines

Oh, dark deception

Angels have spread their wings before you

I've seen their trace descend into your eyes

Weighed your future's outcome with misfortune

No longer can I stand behind your lies

Oh, dark deception
