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.
