Hey, do you see the fool I’ve come to be
To protect you from those twisted lies
I schemed... I tried, I failed, I fried
...
I paint my face so no one will see
the ugliness that I see in me
But you say you saw my beauty shine through
...
I'd rather cry over a silly love song,
Than paste a smile upon my stoney face,
staring out at the world, totally unfazed.
...
Forget it, let it go.
Compel youself,
don’t let anyone know.
Maybe this way,
...
When I gave you away,
why return and beg to stay?
Then I locked you up in hold,
...
The Fool I'Ve Come To Be
Hey, do you see the fool I’ve come to be
To protect you from those twisted lies
I schemed... I tried, I failed, I fried
What I feel I don’t have the answer still
But to keep you blameless in their sight
I got whipped and tied, bled and dried
I’m tired, of being guarded, of being untrue
Of being a wimp, of being slewed
Till the day my faith is renewed
I’m afraid you don’t know me as you think you do
