Lyrics
YOU CAN'T FOOL YOURSELF
VERSE 1
You've Been Together For So Long,
You've Grown Accustomed To It All,
She Has A Comforting Feeling,
But In Your Heart You Know It's Wrong,
So You Spend Your Life Reelin,
From The Magic That's Gone.
Deep Inside You Know You Still Love Her,
But You've Grown Far Apart,
So You Carry On With Some other,
To Numb The Pain In Your Heart.
CHORUS
You Can't Fool Yourself,
Oh That's The Price You Pay,
That's The Price You Pay,
You Can't Fool Yourself,
How You Play Your Part So Well,
You Can't Fool Yourself
VERSE 2
You Sacrifice Your Sanity,
Just So Your Friends Won't Have A clue,
But You Know Your Life's In Misery,
But You Believe, It's The Right Thing To do.
The Years Have Flown Away Pretendin,
You can't Admit it's A Lie,
But Aren't You Really Cryin Inside,
Is It Fear, Or Is It pride.
CHORUS
You Can't Fool Yourself,
That's The Price You Pay,
That's The price You pay,
You Can't Fool Yourself,
oh How You Play Your Part So Well,
You Can't Fool Yourself
