The Fool
Love's Deception: Embracing the Fool's Journey with Cassie Grace
Lyrics
I knew that I should have left you long ago
I recognized that leaving you was necessary a long time ago.
But it's just not that easy to let you go
Despite knowing it's necessary, it's challenging for me to end our relationship.
And though it hurt knowing everything you did
Even though I'm aware of all your actions, the pain of being with you and feeling sad seems justified.
Being with you and being sad felt worth it
I chose to be with you despite the sadness because it felt worthwhile.
I ignored all the signs
I deliberately ignored all the warning signs in the relationship.
Cause I was convinced that I'd
My conviction was strong that staying with you was better than leaving.
Be better off staying than to
I believed staying with you was preferable to being without you.
Be without you
Despite your broken promises, I remained in the relationship.
You broke every promise that you made
I stayed even though you didn't keep any of your commitments.
But I still stayed
Ignoring your actions, I chose to remain with you because of love.
Ignored everything that you'd do
Disregarding everything you did, my love for you prevailed.
Because I loved you
My love for you made me overlook your shortcomings.
I know I was not the only one
Realizing I wasn't the only one in your life.
But being one of the few
Accepting being one of the few in your life.
At least I still had you
Despite the situation, having you was still valuable to me.
And though I know that's not good for anyone
Knowing it's not healthy, I willingly played the fool for the sake of having you.
I gladly played the fool
Embracing the role of the fool because it allowed me to have you.
Cause at least it gave me you
Despite the negatives, playing the fool gave me the comfort of having you.
I kept quiet cause I thought it was for the best
I chose silence, believing it was the best course of action.
I learned to live with the crushing weight on my chest
Learning to live with the emotional burden and pressure on my chest.
Everyone told me that I could do better
Despite advice that I could do better, I trusted your assurance of forever.
But I believed you when you said we were forever
Ignoring signs again due to the belief in our everlasting connection.
I ignored all the signs
Repeating the pattern of ignoring warning signs in the relationship.
Cause I was convinced that I'd
Convinced that staying with you was the better option.
Be better off staying than to
Preferencing staying over being without you despite broken promises.
Be without you
Remaining in the relationship despite the broken commitments.
You broke every promise that you made
Staying committed even in the face of unkept promises.
But I still stayed
Choosing to stay despite everything you did.
Ignored everything that you'd do
Overlooking your actions due to the enduring love I felt.
Because I loved you
Remaining in the relationship despite love despite being aware of other relationships.
I know I was not the only one
Acknowledging I wasn't the only one in your life.
But being one of the few
Being content with being one of the few in your life.
At least I still had you
Despite the awareness that it's not healthy, having you was still significant.
And though I know that's not good for anyone
Willingly accepting the role of the fool for the sake of having you.
I gladly played the fool
Choosing to play the fool because it granted me the presence of you.
Cause at least it gave me you
Despite the inherent risks, playing the fool provided the solace of having you.
