My tender deceiver

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
My tender deceiver, how fine you seemed,
I trusted you completely, lost my way.
I took your copper coin, for gold and dreamed,
And loved your lies in such a wild display.
[Chorus]
You seemed like heaven here on earth,
But that's a lie—I know this bitter truth.
All that bloomed early at February's birth
Withered away in May's deceiving youth.
[Verse 2]
You painted paradise for me and you,
But your heart was empty, cruel and cold.
That's why, inside your arms, I finally knew—
 I felt so lonely in your faithless hold.
[Chorus]
You seemed like heaven here on earth,
But that's a lie—I know this bitter truth.
All that bloomed early at February's birth
Withered away in May's deceiving youth.
[Verse 3]
I bared my soul to you without a shield,
You laughed and played your cold, heartless games.
Why were you gentle, made my defenses yield,
While burning all my love inside the flames?
[Instrumental bridge]
[Bridge]
Now I see clearly through your sweet disguise,
The poison hidden underneath your kiss.
How could I be so blind to all your lies?
How did I mistake this hell for bliss?
[Final Chorus]
You were never heaven here on earth—
That was the cruelest lie, this bitter truth.
All that bloomed early at February's birth
Died in the fire of May's unforgiving youth.
