Fool's Paradise

We built our world on midnight dreams Love felt timeless more than it seemed But whispers grew to secrets left behind A truth unmasked you were never mine You played the role with practiced ease But shadows hid behind your pleas Morning light broke the lies came through My heart shattered seeing the real you You fooled me once but never again The love we had was just pretend Thought we had forever but it was all disguise Now I'm breaking free from this fool's paradise Friends saw the signs but I closed my eyes Your laughter your touch wrapped in disguise Now I see the man behind the smile The years of lies not worth the while I found the notes your messages clear Your double life my biggest fear Strength is born from pain and strife I'm moving on reclaiming my life You fooled me once but never again The love we had was just pretend Thought we had forever but it was all disguise Now I'm breaking free from this fool's paradise I forgive but memories remain The scars you left the tears and pain A warning strong don't cross that line This heart's been hurt but now it's mine You fooled me once but never again The love we had was just pretend Thought we had forever but it was all disguise Now I'm breaking free from this fool's paradise Years flew by in the blink of an eye But I'll rise above no tears to cry Closure found I'm moving on The strength within is my new dawn
