Stulti Auri

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
