Sarge Beguiling lyrics

And I tried to pin you down at 3am
by 5 looks like you've won me over again
I've spent the last year watching you deteriorate
you're a likable bully
all along it's been my mistake
cause all these nuanced conversations
that cried for quiet consolations
were affectations of affection
that stemmed from suggestive rejections
and still I loved your lilting anger
dissected every word you sang there
now I know every loaded line
I've heard them all too many times

but I don't believe you anymore
this insincerity is starting to bore me
and I can't figure out what's wrong with you
when these indiscretions start anew and
I'm torn

I thought I'd gotten through to you but
then next day looked like you'd one-upped me again
your machinations leave me speechless and resigned
and while I won't deny your talent
I'm gonna quit wasting my time
note all these ripped-off observations
encasing sly retaliations
they're declarations of defection
from your beguiling new deceptions
but I still love the way you eye me

you gauge my temper
satisfy me
and you're so quick to realign
but I've heard that song too many times

but I don't believe you anymore
this insincerity is starting to bore me
and I can't figure out what's wrong with you
when these indiscretions start anew and
I'm torn

so why'd you have to change?
or have you always been this way?
I miss the way you were before
you figured out that I'm not yours
and at every show
I'm just another face in your front row
but now I know you're so alone

so why'd you have to change?
do you ever miss me the same way?
I miss our long talks on the porch
with shifting eyes and sweet retorts
and it's been so long
I can't remember what went wrong
I miss you but
I'm giving up
