Think I should've known it from the first day
That you've been trying to play me right out of the gates
I've run out of reasons to keep up this chase
Wishing that I could just get some requite, wouldn't it be nice
Because I've got mixed emotions
A slow erosion of what I thought was real
And now in hindsight all you ever did to me was steal
You said I've gotta prove to you, bow to you
And I was willing to do everything
You took me for a stooge
Figured those lies wouldn't break disguise
But now I've opened my eyes
All this talk of feeling right hath made it difficult
And all those harmless little lies are breaking at the fold
Kept pretending we were tight when we were nothing close
Be careful of that fools gold
Just because it shines doesn't mean it's gold
Just because it shines doesn't mean it's gold
Looks like times are changing
Stakes are raising gotta analyze
Because when I look at you now I wonder how I was so blind
I must've been infatuated, intoxicated, hallucinating
For me to think that you'd reciprocate it
But I gotta think of tomorrow, I'm already calling the next in line
Can't keep dwelling in this state of mind
All this talk of feeling right hath made it difficult
And all those harmless little lies are breaking at the fold
Kept pretending we were tight when we were nothing close
Be careful of that fools gold
All this talk hath made it difficult
And all those lies are breaking at the fold
Kept pretending but we were nothing close
Be careful of that fools gold
