Lyrics

It's easy to say you love me

Expressing that it's simple for someone to verbally claim love.

It's easy to just play the part

Highlighting the ease of playing a role without genuine emotions.

I want to believe you love me

Desire to believe in the sincerity of the professed love.

But you can't fool my heart

Asserting that despite verbal claims, the speaker's heart cannot be deceived.


You gave me a promise true dear

Recalling a promise of true love, though skepticism existed from the beginning.

But somehow I knew from the start

Anticipating a failure to uphold the promise based on initial feelings.

That you'd never keep your promise

Expecting the unfaithfulness of not keeping the promise.

No, you can't fool my heart

Affirming that attempts to deceive the heart will be unsuccessful.


I know you're just pretending

Acknowledging the pretense and falsehood in the partner's actions.

And the things you say are untrue

Indicating that the partner's spoken words lack truthfulness.

And I'm sure you'll soon be spending

Predicting the partner's shift of affection to someone else.

Your love with somebody new

Expecting the partner to find new love soon.


I don't have to keep pretending

Rejecting the need for pretense and acknowledging the relationship's decline.

I know that we're drifting apart

Recognizing the emotional distance and separation between the speaker and the partner.

You might think you are fooling someone

Highlighting the partner's mistaken belief in successfully deceiving someone.

But you can't fool my heart

Reiterating the impossibility of fooling the speaker's heart.


I know you're just pretending

Repeating the acknowledgment of the partner's pretense and falsehood.

And the things you say are untrue

Restating the lack of truthfulness in the partner's communication.

And I'm sure you'll soon be spending

Reiterating the anticipation of the partner finding new love.

Your love with somebody new

Emphasizing the expectation of the partner's romantic involvement with someone else.


I don't have to keep pretending

Declining the need to pretend further and accepting the relationship's drift.

I know that we're drifting apart

Acknowledging the awareness of the growing emotional distance.

You might think you are fooling someone

Pointing out the partner's misconception about successfully deceiving someone.

But you can't fool my heart

Reiterating the impossibility of fooling the speaker's heart.

No, you can't fool my heart

Emphasizing once again that the heart cannot be deceived.
