Fool II

No matter how much I love you
you'll always love me more...
That's what you say,
should I believe you?
Would I be a fool
to believe you?

How many times did you save me?
How often did I come
running back to you?
Do you remember?
Are you keeping count?
Am I amusing you?

You change love's definition
at every whim and turn.
You spark the flame
and watch me burn....

Am I being a fool
for believing in you?
How can you stand to be
so cruel to me?
How can you watch me cry
without comforting me?

Why do you say that you love me
and then tear my world apart?
Why are you so hard
on my sensitive heart?
Why must we play games
That no one wins from the start?

No matter how much I love you,
You'll always love me more...
That's what you always say...
Sure, I believe you
Am I a fool to believe you?

How many times did you lose me?
How often did you have to go
looking for me?
Do you remember?
Do you realize
that you are hurting me?

You watch me spin in circles,
going nowhere.
You hear my cry for help
every day...
What will it take for you to listen?
What will it take for you to see my pain?

Don't make me feel like a fool
for believing in you.
I know you couldn't be
so cruel to me...
You couldn't watch me cry
without comforting me...
