The Beauty Of Deception

Time, it's flown by
But your ageing face is burnt in my mind
Your smile, misguiding voice
Those fairytales life's been to kind

Oh, I understand what you've been through
And I have all the time
I'm the only one to pity you
I walked in to this blind

More fool me
I stumbled in with my eyes closed
More fool you
It took years to see through you

How well you have done
Be proud, my loyal friend
Those stepping stones
They'll soak your lying feet
But I won't watch you drown

Oh, I understand what you've been through
And now I have no time
I'm the only one to pity you
You pulled the wood over my eyes

More fool me
I stumbled in with my eyes closed
More fool you
It took years to see through you
