Victim or a Fool
Love's Deception: Victim or a Fool by Crystal Gayle
Lyrics
Two words, youre gone
Feeling the abruptness of a departure, expressed in two words.
You don't say nothin else
Communication has ceased, and there is silence.
And thats whats so wrong
Expressing the dissatisfaction with the lack of communication.
Am I a victim or a fool?
Pondering whether the experience is one of being victimized or deceived.
Two hearts came so close
Two romantic connections were very close.
One said forever, one just almost
One promised forever, while the other's commitment was less certain.
Am I a victim or a fool?
Questioning whether the singer is a victim or willingly deceived.
If it was something I did
Exploring the possibility that the singer's actions caused the situation.
Why did you keep it all hid?
Wondering why the partner kept something hidden.
How could you rate me as
Asking how the partner perceived the singer in the relationship.
The last in your line?
Questioning the partner's decision to end the relationship abruptly.
How could you stop on a dime?
Expressing surprise at the sudden and complete termination of the relationship.
You mustve known all the time
Suspecting that the partner was aware of issues throughout the relationship.
The trouble waiting at the end of your ride
Acknowledging the presence of trouble that was not apparent earlier.
All of a sudden, baby, you said so long
Unexpectedly parting ways with the partner.
Am I a victim or a fool?
Reiterating the question of whether the singer is a victim or a willing participant.
If it was something I said
Considering the impact of words spoken by the singer.
You kept it all in your head
Partner retaining thoughts without expressing them verbally.
You kept your feelings hidden
Noticing that the partner concealed true feelings from sight.
Safely from view
Reflecting on the partner's emotional secrecy.
And now youre not coming home
Realizing the partner is not returning home.
And I must face time alone
Coming to terms with facing time alone without the partner.
Youre gone, it's so wrong but all coming true
Acknowledging the reality of the partner's departure.
Two words hit me so strong
The impact of two words is powerful and emotionally affecting.
All of a sudden, baby, you said so long
Repeating the sudden farewell and its emotional weight.
Am I a victim or a fool?
Pondering once again whether the experience is one of victimhood or being deceived.
