I didn’t see it coming, try as I might
Said I was wrong and I’d say you were right
Fool me once, fool me twice, dupe me once again
The architect of my downfall, I styled my suffering

But I’ve no caring for your glaring
I’m no playmate for your hate

And don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again
Well don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again

Reaching places so bleak, I can’t tell truth from lies
See my face is so weak, I’m someone I despise
Ask if I can stay for a night or so, turn up on your doorstep with my life in tow
Dreaming ‘bout the things, you say I’ll never get
It ain’t no fantasy it just hasn’t happened yet

But I don’t hanker for your rancour
I need respite from this spite

And don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again
Well don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again

The people that I’m near, they all wither thing
I’m wondering what hell it is that they’ve hither been
The sadness in their eyes, speaks of hurt and pain
Makes me realise I can no longer remain

I’ve no capacity for your apathy
There’s no room for your gloom

And don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again
Well don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again
Well don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again
Well don’t you know that
I’ll never fall for your tricks again
