I shoulda known
I shoulda known better
When once again the movie screen in my head
Began to flicker
I tell you I cannot take another wreck
It would burn me to cinders
I've been in a world, I've been in a world of my own
Still, I shoulda known, I shoulda known, I shoulda known better
How my heart can hold a candle for one who's not there
Oh I do not dare, I've worn my share
Of rose-tinted glasses
Once or twice I did, once or twice I paid the price
Oh I, shoulda known, shoulda known better
Oh I, shoulda known, shoulda shoulda known
Oh.......
Shoulda known, shoulda shoulda known, shoulda known
Oh.......
Shoulda known better, I shoulda known better
Oh, no.....
I shoulda known better
Oh I shoulda known
But I do not dare say
Why curse myself again?
And I know it's better this way
Cannot take another wreck

The Fool
Let the ruin on through
I still wanna see you
I am to please you
I cleaned my house
Inside and out
Patient as this room
Thinking of you
Has your love gone and played me a fool?
Don't say what isn't true
I am me, and you are you
Am I the fool? Am I the fool?
Did you know I would
Love you more than I should
Well, I did not need you
Did not want to dream you, oh
There's a dead-end driving
Straight on, run me off
Nothing like destruction
To tell you what's up
Has your love gone and played me the fool?
Don't say what isn't true
I am me, and you are you
Am I the fool? Am I the fool?
Time has stopped
Since last we talked
Now you're half a world away
Your day is night, my night is day
I can't tell which is real
And I suspect what I'm feeling
A wound hurts as it's healing
And my poison I picked when I saw you
But I am still me, and you are you
A petal falls
An open flower
A plain-clothed clue
Has your love gone and played me?
Don't play me again, the fool
Don't save me from the worst of you
Don't say, don't say what isn't true
