Sam Tompkins - The Deceiver

I can fake it
I hide my feelings all the time
Smile and brave it
While I'm breakin' up inside

'Cause when you wake up to the tear drops
That seem printed on your face
It's easy to make up for the sake of
Lookin' the other way

I know I'm
I'm the deceiver
Tryin' to please ya
But it just feeds the pain
Oh, I'm
I'm the deceiver
Scared to go deeper
Than these shallow games

It's the same shit
That keeps on playin' through my mind
But the print keeps fadin'
So I'm stuck here readin' between the lines

'Cause when you wake up to the tear drops
That seem printed on your face
It's easy to make up for the sake of
Lookin' the other way

Oh, I'm
I'm the deceiver
Tryin' to please ya
But it just feeds the pain
Oh, I'm
I'm the deceiver
I want to go deeper
Than these shallow games

I can fake it
I hide my feelings all the time
Smile and brave it
While I'm breakin' up inside
All the same shit
That keeps on playin' through my mind
The truth keeps fadin'
I don't wanna keep on livin' a lie

But I
I'm the deceiver
Tryin' to please ya
But it just feeds the pain
Oh, I'm
I'm the deceiver
I want to go deeper
Than these shallow games

I
I'm the deceiver
I'm tryin' to please ya
But it just feeds the pain
