Fool Me Once Songtext
von Maryjo Mattea

Hello my dear, how have you been
I know it′s been a while
You say you're well, but I can tell
That there′s something in your smile

That wasn't there so long ago
When sunlight filled your eyes
Now darkness is all that remains
Behind a bright disguise

I hope that you're happy with this mess that you′ve made
And the body count along the way
You′re so good at pretending you may even fool yourself
But I won't be fooled again

I don′t see why you feel the need
To remind me everyday
That in the end I had a choice
And I chose to walk away


Well it took years and too many tears
To find the strength to say
That a life of truth in solitude
Beat your mind fucks any day

I hope that you're happy with this mess that you′ve made
And the body count along the way
You're so good at pretending you may even fool yourself
But I won′t be fooled again

The best laid plans of mice and men often go askew
Which is how I ended up that day with no clue what to do
Neither poet nor pro do I claim to be, still I hate to sound cliche
But despite the scrapes and scars sustained I'm still alive today

If I knew then what I know now
Would I let it go so long
Or would I have cut ties and left the lies
And started moving on

When I looked around upon the ground
At the shards of glass on the floor
That's when I should have known that I′d never find
Any comfort in those arms anymore


I hope that you′re happy with this mess that you've made
And the body count along the way
You′re so good at pretending you may even fool yourself
But I won't be fooled
No I won′t be fooled
No I'll never be fooled again
