You Won'T Fool Me Again
I said it before and I’ll say it once more-
fool me like this I’m slamming the door!
I thought we had an unyielding connection,
but all we shared was perpetual deception.
Trickery you played and yet you still stayed
to prove to me all the damage you made.
I miss the romance, the fond connection,
now it’s misleading guile and imperfection.
Can you honestly say that you really loved me?
I think my veiled eyes were too blind to see.
I never knew my heart could break like this,
we used to be encompassed in love’s bliss.
I feel like I’m living in a nightmare reality,
all your artifice and fraud with hypocrisy.
Two-time double-dealing misrepresentation,
years full of empty promises and dissimilation.
Strategies against me to break my heart in two,
in the depths of my heart I thought I knew you.
Did you ever feel for me a passionate sensation?
Or was your love just out of temporary obligation?
You swore vows of forever, yet you left with ease,
oh tell me God, when will this anguish cease!
I thought I was strong, but you are the weak one,
all the deceit and lies, you played me for fun.
Tonight, after you left I fell to my weary knees,
weeping because of your dishonest disease.
Although I am still tormented this is the end-
you fooled me once, you won’t fool me again!
