I know the rest

The feeling’s back
It came even before you left again

Yeah, in that short time you were back again

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me…
You know the rest

So, what’s the clever saying for fool me 8 or 10 times?

Oh okay, then you’re just the
Hopeless
Pathetic
Romantic, actually believing their words will be followed by some heartfelt action…

Maybe they’d grow a pear
HA
Maybe they’d grow a pear and actually be there

Too much to ask
Too much to ask of a person
The person who, you know, started this whole mess anyway
Who smothered me after I was finally breathing again


Hopeful

You saw my light and you needed it for yourself
You robbed me of the rare FAITH I was holding onto,
That I had just caught again

You saw my light,
You saw a change and in that split second you thought you wanted to be a part of that
That you were ENTITLED to be a part of that
So you worked me
You worked me cause you know me
You worked me.
You know me.
And well, that’s why I’m down again
Out of breath
Stuck
Disbelief
A deer caught in headlights while you speed past still trying to win  your own race

Maybe you’d grow a pear
Maybe you’d grow a pear and actually be there

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice…
You know the rest

No, I know the rest
I know how this plays out

This “thing” between you and I
This “thing” that in working me you turn into a twist of fate
An everlasting bond

Blah blah blahhhhhhhh

But no, I know the rest
I know how this plays out

This “thing” between you and I is yet,
Just another vicious cycle playing my life
Another event on rewind
Another piece to my insanity

I know this “thing”
I know who’s left hurt
Because I know who actually fell again
Who actually believed this “thing”
That this “thing” was a twist of fate,
An everlasting bond

It’s me who’s left in the dark
You stole my light, you took my hope I worked so hard to earn back

That I struggle for
That I fought for
That I had to get up and get ready through the mess for
That I had to fight myself for
That each and everyday gets harder and harder

This “thing”
This twist of fate
This “awakening” YOU had
I really felt it

As much as it burns my mouth even to say

I really wanted it

You didn't care
You never cared
With the other vicous cycles circling in my life right now, you took advantage of vulnerability
You got drunk off your selfishness and slurred words for your own gain.


How dare you…

Maybe you’d grow a pair
Maybe you’d grow a pair and actually be there

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me over and over
Fool me into a cycle

This time you don’t know the rest
This time I will know the rest and be proud
This time it’s goodbye
This time there’s no cycle

I’ve branched out

So you keep running your race
I’m on my new path and you?
HA
You’re no where in it

So run your race

Play your games

Keep circling
Repeating
Chasing

Only fools can’t be alone
Only fools keep their life on rewind
Only fools search for anothers light to make their own
Only fools play

Who’s the fool now…

Maybe you’ll grow a pear
Maybe you’ll grow a pear and actually be there
But I don’t even care
Have my light.

I’m out of your race
I’m taking my path to shine even brighter
To breathe again

Hope you don’t lose your breath
Trust me, it’s hard to get back
Especially when you’re running alone...

Fool me once shame on you

The only fool playing now is you...
