Take the knife from me
You can put it away
Let me bleed in peace
You don't have to stay
You don't have to stay
When the lights go down
Are you still around
Was I fooled again
I should have known it was just pretend
Don't you cry no tears
Your lies I don't want to hear
Cause when the fire dies
Smoke is all that's left
And when I see your eyes
Deception at its best
At its best
Your love left its mark on me
And I can't forgive you
Your love left a stain on me
Now I can't forget you
Did it hurt when you fell
Back to hell
If I had known the truth
I'd never messed with you
When the lights go down
Are you still around
Was I fooled again
I should have known it was just pretend
Don't you cry no tears
Your lies I don't want to hear
Cause when the fire dies
Smoke is all that's left
And when I see your eyes
Deception at its best
At its best
