lyrics

I’m sick while I wait
So I’ll try to concentrate on the words
The ashes in the hearth show the remnants
Of our world that burned
I’m willing to let you leave just a mark
‘Cause a scar is forever and you ain’t worth the hurt
You’ve been likely to lead me to thinking
But I finally remember my worth

You can’t fool the fool any longer
These eyes have seen through your disguise
Every day my heart is getting stronger, stronger stronger
And you can’t fool the fool any longer

We wished for the same thing
A home and two golden rings
But that was just the start of the end
For you and me
Well the rules haven’t changed
You can’t have it both ways you see
So I’m leaving a game I never wanted to play
Honey nothing’s worth that fortune and fame

You can’t fool the fool any longer
These eyes have seen through your disguise
Every day my heart is getting stronger, stronger, stronger
And you can’t fool the fool any longer
