The Best Deceptions Lyrics

I heard about the trip.
I heard about your souvenirs.
I heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights
And the cool guys
That you spent them with.
I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

Don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all The Best Deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard 'cause this'll be the last time that I let you.

I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wished you could
Set things right between us.
I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

So don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard 'cause this'll be the last time that I let you.

You will be back someday,
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's
Lips
Will be of service
In giving you away.

So don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard, 'cause this'll be the last time that I let you.

I'm waiting for blood
To flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm.
Ignoring the phone,
I'd rather say nothing,
I'd rather you never heard my voice.
You're calling too late,
Too late to be gracious.
And you do not warrant long good-byes.
You're calling too late,
You're calling too late.

The Best Deceptions

In this song, Chris Carrabba sings about a girlfriend cheating on him: "I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights and the cool guys that you spent them with. I guess I should have heard of them from you."

The line, "Don't you see that the charade is over and all the best deceptions and the clever cover story awards go to you," means that she doesn't have to act like she cares anymore - that's the charade. The clever cover story awards go to her because she is good at making up a lie to tell him so she doesn't get in trouble.

Carrabba described this song on his MTV Unplugged appearances as being about "feeling bad and feeling better."
