Lies of a Jester by Beverley McInnis

Your bitter lies I heard before
I knew it all before you crossed my door
Hidden deep inside was the lies you hide
Yet still I stood and let you inside

What a fool am I
What a fool am I
I couldn’t say no
I couldn’t let you go
What a fool am I

You held me tight
Kissed away my fright
I believed your lies
Even through the nights
When lovers fought
Fists were formed
I still let you in
Believing once more

What a fool am I
What a fool am I
I couldn’t say no
I couldn’t let you go
What a fool am I

Through battered eyes
I watched the world go by
I prayed every day
For strength to say
Just go away
I don’t need you anymore
Yet I opened the door
Just once more

What a fool am I
What a fool am I
I couldn’t say no
I couldn’t let you
What a fool am I

One day I awoke
And you were gone
Down that road
I dreamed upon
Leaving me behind
To pick the pieces up
Shattered I screamed
Shattered I dropped

What a fool am I
What a fool am I
I couldn’t say no
I couldn’t let you go
What a fool am I

Still one day I will awake
I will see the sun and no more clouds
I will love with all my heart
I won’t look out of eyes filled with dark

No more fool am I
No more fool am I
I woke to your lies
I shut that door

No more fool am I
No more fool am I
I’m stronger now
Than I was before

So when you come back
I won’t be there
Waiting for your love
With lies you shared
I won’t hang around
Like before
No more fool am I
I slammed closed that door

I will move on
I will move on
Live the life
That I deserve
I won’t look back
I won’t look back

No more fool am I
No more fool am I
I can see your lies
I can see your lies
I will go on
Stronger than before
There’s no looking back
Once I walk out that door
