Lyrics
[verse]
You don't call me anymore, you don't even try
Still I'm standing here pretending not to cry
Tell me something sweet, even if it's a lie
I don't care if it's the truth, just let it fly
[verse]
Everybody says that I should let you go
Everybody says I'm the only one who doesn't know
Maybe I'm the fool who's dancing in the dark
But your shadow's still the only light, the only spark
[chorus]
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me good
Tell me that you love me like you know you should
I don't need the truth if the truth's gonna hurt
Just keep pretending, keep me in the dirt
[verse]
I'll play the part as long as you'll allow
Even knowing it's already over now
Give me one more evening dressed in make-believe
I'm not ready yet to learn how to leave
[chorus]
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me good
Tell me that you love me like you know you should
I don't need the truth if the truth's gonna hurt
Just keep pretending, keep me in the dirt
[bridge]
Maybe fools are braver than the wise
Maybe love's just closing both your eyes
I'll keep chasing shadows down the hall
Better fooled by you than not loved at all
[chorus]
Fool me, fool me, go on and fool me good
Tell me that you love me like you know you should
I don't need the truth if the truth's gonna hurt
Just keep pretending, keep me in the dirt
