Lyrics
Why did you tell me that you understood
What I was trying to say?
Why did you tell me everything you could
to make me feel this way?
You found a way of using make-believe
You played the perfect part
So now you really made a fool of me
I was a fool from the start
I know I was your fool from the start
A fool from the start
A fool in a fantasy
Lost in a crazy dream
I thought I had everything
You let me think I was the only one
I wasn’t very smart
So now you really made a fool of me
I was your fool from the start
I know I was your fool from the start
A fool from the start
A fool in a fantasy
You’ve taken everything
You left me with just a crazy dream
I was your fool from the start
I was your fool from the start
I know I was
I was your fool from the start
It seems you’ve taken everything
You left me with just a crazy dream
Was I your fool from the start?
Fool in a fantasy
I’m lost in a crazy dream, oh, I’m dreaming
I was your fool from the start
I was your fool from the start
I know I was
Was I your fool from the start, baby?
I was your fool from the start
I was your fool from the start
I know I was
I was your fool from the start
Was I your fool from the start?
Was I your fool from the start?
I was your fool from the start
I was your fool from the start
I know I was
I was your fool from the start
