Deceiving Is Believing
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
I always have an alibi
You allow me that
But tonight I have no conscience
So what comes after that
You're coming down already
This high won't see us through
Nothing I can change now
I've learnt to lie to you
What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me
I always had a vision
That love would see us through
But what's the point in vision
When my dreams depend on you
Gonna need support now
Your friends can gather round
And you can tell them stories
On how I let you down
What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
I'm much too young to be cynical
It's you that makes me miserable
Can you tell a lie through a smile
In bed we always deviate
And I'm the one who comes too late
These things hide inside of my mind, my mind
I always have an alibi
You allow me that
But tonight I have no conscience
So what comes after that
What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Deceiving is believing
Believing
Believing

Believe
You allow me that
But tonight I have no conscience
So what comes after that
You're coming down already
This high won't see us through
Nothing I can change now
I've learnt to lie to you
What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me
I always had a vision
That love would see us through
But what's the point in vision
When my dreams depend on you
Gonna need support now
Your friends can gather round
And you can tell them stories
On how I let you down
What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
I'm much too young to be cynical
It's you that makes me miserable
Can you tell a lie through a smile
In bed we always deviate
And I'm the one who comes too late
These things hide inside of my mind, my mind
I always have an alibi
You allow me that

So what comes after that
