Norah Jones Deceptively Yours Lyrics

I couldn't make a change.
I might have known you had found
Another love.
I sat at home all night
Bask in the lonely pale
Of my bedstand light.

But through a tear in a curtain
In a cheap motel
I saw with jealous eyes
You made the call to lie
Deceptively yours.

I saw a black cloud,
I didn't hear a sound,
Only the shell on the ground.
There was a scream somewhere
And in the thick night air
I put the pedal down,
As the sirens wailed
And I sat alone and prayed,
Not knowing what was to come.

But through a tear in a curtain,
In a cheap motel,
I saw with jealous eyes
You made the call to lie
Deceptively yours.

I tried not to believe
The scene that I could see.
It felt like days pass by
Before I turnedaway
I felt a dizzy sway
And the gun in my hand.
Stood before a judge
He cleared his throat to say
"I won't give you no bail";
Schackled with chains or love
I knew that I had bought
My own coffin nails.

I hear your sweet voice calling out my name
As I stare from a six foot cell
And from beyond I heard the words
Deceptively yours...
