Deceit

i had you all wrong
all of the time
what you said
you didn't mean
and what you meant
you didn't say

i have been
guilty too
of worse deceit
and i live with
that every day

i never meant
to be a bad person
but sometimes
the nasty takes
you for a long ride
and you enjoy
the scenery

dog eat dog
life's a bitch
i've been that
bitch on heat
and i fucking
loved it

age withers
me now
and my dreams
have died

simple is best
too tired of playing
games i never won and
never will

but as the song
said
time is on my
side

the bad me has
left the building
and there's a
new sheriff in town
