lyrics

Had to go by the look in your eyes
That you were sincere and caring
I was convinced you were the real deal
Not yet one more red herring
You stood out like a beacon in the night
When the light was getting dim
Put my heart in your hand
And then you went and twisted my limb
Wasn’t prepared to be betrayed
To see that it was all a charade

My mistake, my mistake
I let myself get taken
My mistake, my mistake
Yeah I was sorely mistaken

You told me a lot, a lot about yourself
Even though it turns out all a lie
But it sounded good
And I wanted to believe
I’m a believing kind of guy
You took notes
With your eyes and with your pen
You nodded like you were involved
But I missed the cues
I didn’t wanna see
And all my faith dissolved
There’s no fool like an old fool

I didn’t see where you were coming from
So I couldn’t see where we going
Why anyone does what anyone does
I have no real way of knowing

I must admit that you were pretty good
At making you seem like a saint
I bought it all ‘cause I’m frankly desperate
I should’ve used some restraint
It’s not that you are some kind of monster
It’s not like you were being mean
But when I finally saw behind the facade
I somehow felt a little unclean
You poked me in my open sore
And I should know better to want more
