Pop song

i'm inclined to believe that everything you say is true,
make me feel like i am wanted.
and i'm inclined to believe that your affections, they are real,
make me feel like i am wanted.
but affectations pass me by.
i will not see you a live a lie.
i only see you in the way that you want to be seen.

and i've been easily deceived by those i'd simply like to be.
just a chance for me to get closer.
and i've been heartily received by those with a hold over me.
approve me for the assembly.
but shortcomings they disappear
i will not see you clear for fear
i might lose the image of you
that i take to be me.
