Deceptive Love

Attention felt like freedom, now I see it's nothing but a prison Hate to admit it, but I need to feel that sense of validation Allow me to introduce myself I'm addicted to instant gratification Must be why I believed you when you said you believed in my decision But I'll take what I can get even if what I can get is inauthentic I'm addicted to the drug of deceptive love I know that it's pathetic Tangled up in drama, now the drama is my name Moved mountaintops but I see you crowd my face out of the frame I'll have to make my peace with knowing you don't feel the same Cause I would've died for you, you would've let me take the bait Convinced myself that trophies didn't mean a single thing until I won one Now it's displayed ever so nicely on my floating shelf but isn't ever mentioned So I feel like that trophy, everybody was ecstatic to win me Now I'm collecting dust on my shattered pieces just to make you see me But I'll take what I can get even if what I can get is inauthentic I'm addicted to the drug of deceptive love, I know that it's pathetic Tangled up in drama, now the drama is my name Moved mountaintops but I see you crowd my face out of the frame I'll have to make my peace with knowing you don't feel the same Cause I would've died for you, you would've let me take the bait Attention felt like freedom but it forces me to play the victim Cause now I collect dust on my shattered pieces just to make you listen But I'll take the single step even if that very step is inauthentic Not unbothered, just unmatched and you can't take it back but I will listen Untangled from the drama and I'm taking back my name I knew I shouldn't trust you but I did it anyway That's just an unfortunate truth you learn from growing up Yeah, I didn't know that happens when you grow up You chase the feeling of deceptive love, then pass it on
