Finding out someone has had a hidden agenda but knowing about it the entire time.
Giving someone the benefit of the doubt, despite all and any advice from others or even yourself.
Then being left in disbelief when the truth is finally revealed.
Then being strong enough to walk away with your head held high.
Because your agenda was not hidden... The bridge is the part that picks me right up every single time.

lyrics
Whoooooooo
Hook
I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me.
By making me believe that your love would never leave me.
Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies.
You just had a good disguise.
I couldn't see it in your eyes.
Verse 1
So many days we'd speak about the same things but each time you'd speak, your stories would keep changing.
I still don't know why you play this game you're playing.
Pretend to love somebody only just to break them oh.
Now every day since we don't speak no more my days have gotten darker than they have been before.
Feels like I'm broken up right to my very core.
Why was I not enough?
I'm crying on this floor.
Cause.
Hook
I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me.
By making me believe that your love would never leave me.
Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies.
You just had a good disguise.
I couldn't see it in your eyes.
Verse 2
I said, I fell from grace that day I fell for you.
Traded my halo and wings for all your darkness and gloom.
I saw that shooting star and thought my dreams could come true.
But didn't know this was a game, I thought you only told me the truth.
How did it still surprise me?
If deep down I always knew?
I should have left before this started instead I stayed and stuck it out with you.
Now as I write all of these memories, I watch the pages turn to books.
And all the money or the fame it brings could never give back what you took.
OH
Hook
I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me.
By making me believe that your love would never leave me. Oh
Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies.
You just had a good disguise.
I couldn't see it in your eyes.
Bridge
I hope you enjoy being alone while scrolling down on your phone and listening to this song aimlessly singing along as if you did nothing cause you were "just having fun".
You played the game but I won, still can't believe that I'm gone.
I wrote this song with you in mind dear.
May it always be a reminder.
Although lust has made you that much blinder.
It still costs nothing to be kinder.
Hook
I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me.
By making me believe that your love would never leave me.
Now I've realized, every word you spoke was lies.
You just had a good disguise.
I couldn't see it in your eyes.
Outro
Hidden...
Hidden Agenda...
You've had a hidden...
Hidden Agenda...
I cannot conceive that you tried to deceive me by making me believe that your love would never leave.
Me.
