You Fooled Me

You fooled me. 

You fooled me.

I thought that with you I'd found my match.

I thought that you and me would last.

You bring me to my knees, helpless and weak.

The blows received just hurt too deep.

Through thick and thin we've been; and then some!

Why survive so much for what now we've become?

Why not just kill the rest of me? 

At least somehow that way I'd be free?

I can't stand by while my heart dies

No matter how hard I try.

You fooled me.

You fooled me.
