Ohhh, why would I be mad?
Why wouldn't I understand?
If it's making you smile and happy,
That's all I need, maybe.
I guess it's not meant to be.
I see you laying that red carpet
For everyone else to see,
Giving it to anyone for free.
How long till you realize,
Always hiding behind that disguise?
How long are you gonna keep those lies
Till the truth amplifies and trust dies?
You told me you're chasing your dreams,
Fooling yourself, (fooling yourself).
You took the wrong path, so it seems,
Fooling yourself, (fooling yourself).
Full of alibis, but how do you sleep at night,
Knowing one day they'll see those tears in your eyes?
You might be able to hide it for now,
But one day-you'll look for me somehow.
Whoa, ohhh, ohhh.
Why would I even try again.
Made up your mind, want me off your skin.
If it gives you satisfaction within,
Go ahead, grab it all, take that fame.
Unsure if I'll be here for you still,
Can't promise you I'll always will.
Trading real love for moments that won't last,
Living the future while destroying your past.
The mirror doesn't lie, we both know what's true.
You can't run forever from the things you do.
Fake faces, fake love-tell me, who's using who?
Now you feel lost, hurting like a heartache overdue.
Whoa, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh.
You told me you're chasing your dreams,
Fooling yourself, (fooling yourself).
You took the wrong path, so it seems,
Fooling yourself, (fooling yourself).
Full of alibis, but how do you sleep at night,
Knowing one day they'll see those tears in your eyes?
You might be able to hide it for now,
But one day-you'll look for me somehow.
Whoa, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh.
And now the stage is empty, and you're all alone.
Will you remember the love you disowned?
I gave you my all, but it wasn't enough.
Now you're lost in a world that's cold and tough.
And now you're left with nothing but guilt and shame,
A price to pay for all your imaginary fame.
Fooling yourself, fooling yourself... fooling...
