Lyrics
We were fooling my dear again, one of life's little games of pretend. But we took it too far, that wish on a star, found the rules of life do not bend.
We fit so well as a sculptor to his clay, oh but your better half just got in the way. You said it'd be so easy to just come clean completely, but I stand alone and she's just betrayed.
Why did I ever think you'd be an exception to the rule,
Again I cry in shame for what I should have learned in school
A school of love and life, mistakes I made with men here just the same as you baby, so who is the fool?
Who is the fool?
You were weak, so used and abused, (just like the others), Just needed someone to rescue you. Was a first time you said as each love affair has read, but you knew exactly what to do.
Our love is like petals in a poisoned stream. You and I we film one more bad repeat dream. And you begged don't forget as I slipped from your head, you've got another to comfort you.
So the joke is on me baby, cause you're just another maybe, another 'maybe this is it so I will wait for you. No matter how much it's wrong, I just sing that same old sad song, so tell me... who played who...
But you're not like other lovers, this time there is no other that I will ever want and I am bein' true...
But your silence is the answer, so familiar ever after... and I ask myself again what did I do... to play my..
Fool............... To play my fool.....
