Fool

In your arms I felt safe to stay

safe to play, safe to make my own way

to your bed I gladly went, led by your hand,

I thought I could trust.

I looked in your eyes, I'd met my match

never knew how wrong I was.

how quickly I've been cast aside,

I thought I meant more than that.

[chorus]

now I've played the fool

your words are nothing but smoke and mirrors

I wish you'd be the man I thought you were

but I'm the fool being left behind

Anger rises like the tide, shame takes over my soul

there's no shower to wash me clean

you've left me stained for all to see

[chorus]

how many will it take before I learn

how many times will I have to burn

i want to laugh and I want to love

but you've taken that too

[chorus]

you've taken it all

but I'll rise again

can't say the same for you

P.S.: Before I get tons of crazy messages just remember that as a writer I can write about my experiences as well as other people's... and that when I write about one thing, it may actually be about something else. Cheers! :)
