I couldn't make a change I might have known you had found Another love I sat at home all night Bask in the lonely pale Of my bedstand light
But through a tear in a curtain In a cheap motel I saw with jealous eyes You made the call to lie Deceptively yours
I saw a black cloud I didn't hear a sound Only the shell on the ground There was a scream somewhere And in the thick night air I put the pedal down As the sirens wailed And I sat alone and prayed Not knowing what was to come
But through a tear in a curtain In a cheap motel I saw with jealous eyes You made the call to lie Deceptively yours
I tried not to believe The scene that I could see It felt like days passed by Before I turned away I felt a dizzy sway And the gun in my hand Stood before a judge
He cleared his throat to say "I won't give you no bail" Shackled with chains of love I knew that I had bought My own coffin nails
I hear your sweet voice calling out my name As I stare from a six foot cell And from beyond I heard the words Deceptively yours
