Katrielle Jordan - Deceptive Love

Attention felt like freedom
Now I see it's nothing but
A prison
Hate to admit it
But I need to feel that
Sense of validation
Allow me to introduce myself
I'm addicted to instant gratification
Must be why I believed you
When you said you
Believed in my decision

But I'll take what I can get
Even if what
I can get is inauthentic
I'm addicted to the
Drug of deceptive love
I know that it's pathetic
Tangled up in drama
Now the drama is my name
Moved mountaintops
But I see you crop my
Face out of the frame
I'll have to make my peace
With knowing you don't feel the same
Cause I would've died for you
You would've let me take the bait

Convinced myself that trophies
Didn't mean a single thing until
I won one
Now it's displayed
Ever-so-nicely on my floating shelf
But isn't ever mentioned
So I feel like that trophy
Everybody was ecstatic to win me
Now I'm collecting dust on my
Shattered pieces just to
Make you see me

But I'll take what I can get
Even if what I can get
Is inauthentic
I'm addicted to the
Drug of deceptive love
I know that it's pathetic
Tangled up in drama
Now the drama is my name
Moved mountaintops but I see you
Crop my face out of the frame
I'll have to make my peace
With knowing you don't feel the same
Cause I would've died for you
You would've let me take the bait

Attention felt like freedom
But it forces me to play
The victim
Cause now I collect dust on my
Shattered pieces just to make you listen

But I'll take a single step
Even if that very step is inauthentic
Not unbothered, just unmatched
And you can't take it back
But I will listen
Untangled from the drama and
I'm taking back my name
I knew I shouldn't trust you
But I did it anyway
That's just an unfortunate truth you
Learn from growing up
Yeah
I didn't know that happens
When you grow up

You chase the feeling of deceptive love
Then pass it on
