“Deception” is a loving piano ballad about trying to understand why an ex-lover broke up with her and realising he wasn’t meant for her anyway.
The song expresses Grimmie’s feelings towards an ex-lover, whom she has come to realise never actually cared for her. Although she has come to this realisa...
[Chorus]
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, yeah
[Verse 1]
You unfolded your arms
And you unclenched your fists
And I dropped all my bags
And then on that star I wished
What I would do
What I would do to be loved by by you
And I opened the door
And I watched as you looked at me
With honest confusion
And certainly unrelieved
What I would do
What I would do to be loved by by you
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn't ever, oh (you didn't ever care for me, oh)
You didn't ever, oh (you didn't ever care for me, oh)
You didn't ever care
So now I'm sitting here wondering why
[Chorus]
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can't take back the bite
This fruit was not meant for me
Deception and vice
At the finest I'd ever seen
But what I would do
What I would do to be loved by by you
And the funny thing is
That I settled for the untruth
Just because
I'm a slave to the fantasy of being in love
And what I would do to be loved by by you
[Bridge]
Thinking it through
Now I see everything
How did I not know it
Life with you's but a dream
But what I would do
What I would do to be loved by by you
[Chorus]
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
Ohh
Now I'm sitting here wondering why
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me
You didn't ever care for me, oh
You didn't ever care for me, care for me, oh
So now I'm sitting here wondering why

It was actually free flowing for the most part, with the exception of one song I wrote called “Deception” on Side A. The song took me about a year to write, I started it ages ago and I had a chorus and tried to write the verse for a year, all the verses. I didn’t know why I couldn’t do it. I wasn’t...
