Like the Fools We're Not

I’m done, I’m sick and tired of this mess,

Tired of playing hide and seek, tired of always having to second guess,

I’m done with your drama, too much lost at your hand,

There’s only so much I can take and this is too much to stand,

Why is it you play me for the fool, after all, I am not,

Maybe you over looked that tiny detail, maybe you simply forgot,

I knew these feelings should have been kept inside,

I may still be breathing but under the cover of my chest, a part of me just died,

I never wanted to be the one used in your search for the truth,

Your methods are unforgiving and certainly uncouth,

I’ve been there for you every step of the way,

How could you turn around and turn me away?

How could you manage to help my friends unknowingly hurt me?

You’re a liar, a snake, and a manipulator and I know you see,

You use us all, all of the people you care about the most,

Play it like a game, but too embarrassed to boast,

Afraid they’ll look back at you with a curious look in their eye,

Too afraid they’ll catch on and question you with why,

It’s different for you, for you have no ties,

We all had deep emotions and no knowledge of your lies,

Never question your methods, for you’re never wrong,

Tell me that next time you stuff weed into that bong,

Don’t turn everything around and point the blame at me,

For you are wrong and you better begin to see,

Appreciate what you’ve got before it’s all taken away from you,

I sure as hell won’t stick around if this is all you do,

You’ve fooled us all with your serenading words,

You knew it, and that’s the way you preferred,

Never thinking we’d mind because you knew how deeply our feelings ran,

Guess you can be wrong, I can’t even look at you, none of us can,

So now I pray the questions fall hard and the lessons well taught,

Played us all for the fools you forgot, we are not.
