Everybody's Fool

Why is it that I always seem to be everybody's fool?
Have you fooled me in the past?
Are you interested in head games?
Am I just too naive?

I don't understand why people seek to deceive me, to take advantage of me
I believe what you tell me, not because I'm naive or stupid, but because I believe in human morality
Has it gone out of vogue to be honest and truthful?
To say something and actually mean it

Today when you tell someone that you love them and can't live without them
what you really mean is..God, I want a physical relationship and will say anything to get it
Today when you say, you are someone I could see spending the rest of my life with
What you really mean is..Or the next few weeks, until I can latch onto someone else and fool them

I am not bitter about a situation
I just feel that too much testerone leads to nasty conflict
I don't like conflict, it makes me nervous
And when I get nervous, I don't function well

What is my point?
My point is that when you tell lies, you not only hurt yourself, but others
Have you ever been hurt so much that it feels like your insides are being stabbed by a ruthless knife?
WEll..when you hurt me, you just kept digging and digging

I have experienced enough pain, but I will not seek to spread the seed
Instead, I will seek to love and pray for my fellow man
IT's too bad that you sought to deceive me, I would have loved you with all my heart
Instead, it will be you who will cry throughout the late hours of the night searching for what you've lost

Once something has been lost, it can't be regained
I trusted you, like I trusted no one else
But..unlike the past, I will continue to trust
Maybe we were put in each other's life for a short moment in time

In that moment in time, what was really said, was reality
It was beautiful while it lasted
But the time has come to say goodbye
Goodbye, to all that we knew, goodbye to memories, and most of all goodbye to YOU
