the joker and the fool
I let you
read my script
hold my paper heart
I told you
to be careful
right from the start
cause I knew
my soul
could be easily ripped
gave you trust
bit by bit
but it's the throne
of the fool
on which I sit
for our candle of love
was your best parlor trick
with wax white as lies
you burned me
down to the wick
why, oh why
did you look at me
with those eyes
long enough
to make it stick
you said I made hours
feel like minutes
guess the time
went by too quick
now all I do
is sit
and listen to the clock
tick
hoping time will take it's toll
and wishful thoughts
of you
I'll be rid
'cause
you lied,
I cried,
and we died,
but you best believe
I tried
and i tried
but what can I say
no amount of tears
will wash away
the trust you spilled
all over me
I'm stained
irrevocably
so
don't look back
you don't miss me
you miss
controlling me
so, no
don't give me false hope
stop telling me to come down
when it's you
whos tightening the rope
I guess
it's just a shame
I told you all my secrets
before blowing out the flame
cause now its my wish
that won't come true
probably for the best
cause that was before
I knew
probably for the best
cause I wished
to always
have you.
