[Verse 1]
I write to you, my darling love
With 6000 hours insulting [?the showers?] instead of you
Your faith in me has kept me through
Can't fasten my wings and hand-me-down seams when we were new
[Verse 2]
I’m not an artist nor a masterpiece
I’m not a legend nor a gifted bard
I’m not the person that you thought I was
And never have been the one meant for us
[Chorus]
I fooled you
I fooled you
[Verse 3]
I thought I’d be myself by now
I thought I would find myself in the light I almost drew
I thought I’d be the best for you
But how can I be when most of me I’ve never used?
[Verse 4]
I’m not the force I know I ought to be
I’m not a genius nor a pouring heart
I’m not the person that I thought I was
And never have been the one meant for us
[Chorus]
I fooled you
I fooled you
[Outro]
I fooled you
I fooled you
