Fool’s Reverie

You take me for a fool

You smile like nothing happened

Set the table, pour the truth too late Every little promise bends

around you And you act surprised when I pull away

I saw the change before you named it

Felt the room go cold behind your face You keep talking like

I never notice But I know the game

Don't dress it up in sweet excuses Don't turn my doubt into

your grace

You had your chance to keep it honest Now hear me say

You take me for a fool Like I don't see the way

you move Like I would stay and play it cool After all

you put me through You take me for a fool But I'm

not falling back to you No,

I'm not yours to twist and use You take me for a

fool

Now you're leaning on old memories

Trying on the words you never meant Saying maybe we were good

together Only when I'm halfway gone again I gave more than I

should have given

Held my breath to keep the peace in place

Now I'm leaving with my name unbroken Nothing left to save

I was faithful to the feeling

You were faithful to the role If love was ever in the

picture Why did I stand here alone You take me

for a fool

Like I don't see the way you move Like I would stay

and play it cool After all you put me through You take

me for a fool But I'm not falling back to you No,

I'm not yours to twist and use You take me for a

fool Not your fool

Not your fool
