Deceive Myself

from The Start by Andrew Newton

/

about

Suzy, alone with her ceaseless mind and a bottle of wine, is full of regrets. Afraid to walk through the door and risk broken promises, repeated mistakes, and a broken heart. But the alternative? What if I don’t take that chance? It may lead to nothing at all, but it’s definitely better than this. So I’ll head down this icy road.

lyrics

Another glass of wine, another night the clock is staring at me
And all that I can see
Memories in time, faces of the ones in and out of my door
I can take no more
Thinking of a time, buried in the past with an impulse strong
Feel like I belong
But time can add the weight loaded on these shoulders, breaking my back
Looking in the black

And through the night, dark and cold
And frost on the windowpane
Calls me out, calls me from
The everyday mundane

Can I take the chance this time?
Can I believe?
Though it may lead to nothing at all
Will I deceive myself?

So I hurry on my coat, stumble in my boots, and out of the door
A longing to explore
Curious, it seems, in all my wildest dreams I usually wait
Patient at the gate

To see his face, that’s my place
But this time I’ll take charge
On my feet, whom will I’ll meet?
A kindred soul at large?

I might take a chance this time
I might believe
Though it may lead to nothing at all
I can’t deceive myself

Is what I’m doing right?
I could stay home all night.
But that’s no way to live
And I cannot forgive

So I’ll head down this icy road

I will take a chance this time
I will believe
Though it may lead to nothing at all
I won’t deceive
Myself.
