Left the Fool Behind

Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

Check the facts

Verse 1

Woke up feeling like a ghost in my own skin

Where did the man I knew go

Looking for a mirror just to find a stranger

Wondering when I let the fire get low

You played me for a sucker while I held your hand

Traded my gold for some dirty copper

Built a house of mirrors out of all your tales

But even a king needs a proper stopper

Pre-Chorus

The silence screams your secrets now

My eyes are wide and stinging

I cut the thread that held me down

Chorus

Don't talk to me about love or what you meant to be

Your actions shout the truth until it's all I see

You liked to think I was stupid

You liked to think I was blind

I left the fool behind

I left the fool behind

Verse 2

Funny how the loudest mouths always have the emptiest heads

Mistaking my patience for weakness

Disrespect dripping like poison from a cracked porcelain cup

Found my footing in the wreckage of your bleakness

Tired of the jokes where I am the punchline

Betrayal has a funny way of clearing the view

Better on my own than shadowed by a fraud

Learning to like someone that isn't you

Pre-Chorus

The silence screams your secrets now

My eyes are wide and stinging

I cut the thread that held me down

Chorus

Don't talk to me about love or what you meant to be

Your actions shout the truth until it's all I see

You liked to think I was stupid

You liked to think I was blind

I left the fool behind

I left the fool behind

Bridge

Thought you were slick

Thought it was a game

Caught in the thick

Fanning the flame

One for the pride

Two for the fall

I stand inside

Losing it all

Until I find the light again

Chorus

Don't talk to me about love or what you meant to be

Your actions shout the truth until it's all I see

You liked to think I was stupid

You liked to think I was blind

I left the fool behind

I left the fool behind

Drop

Left behind

Fool behind
