Ghost of Never (The Fool)

Was it really too much to ask for you to take this chance?
Were you really too good for this dance?
I gave you my all and all you gave was heartache.
I’ve got one final question for you,
Did you get pleasure from watching me break?

We were over before we began,
But hey I guess that was always your plan.
In the game of love, lust is your favorite tool.
I knew the risks but couldn’t hide my cards from you.
For you are the king and I am your fool.

I hate myself for believing;
For any second spent dreaming
That I could win this game
And make you feel the same
But you taught me a lesson well learned
And I will never allow myself again to be so burned.

Chorus:
I spent the night in your arms
And lost my heart forever.
My defenses eradicated by your charms
Now your hold on my heart can’t be severed.

I didn’t realize the price of your embrace
The cost of touching your beautiful face.
You left me bleeding, broken, hollow
With the taste of shame that I can’t swallow

I’m choking on the words I can’t take back
Staring into the abyss of your soul, jet black.
Still I wait for you to realize what you’ve done
That you just missed out on ‘the one’

I could have been your forever
Instead we’re both haunted by the ghost of never.
Its chains rattle through the empty halls of my heart;
Until our wails can’t be told apart.

I spent the night in your arms
And lost my heart forever.
My defenses eradicated by your charms
Now your hold on my heart can’t be severed.

I didn’t realize the price of your embrace
The cost of touching your beautiful face.
You left me bleeding, broken, hollow
With the taste of shame that I can’t swallow.

I can’t turn away
Even though I know you won’t stay
Why is it so hard for me to understand
That you’re just that kind of man
You take what you want with no thought
Of who you’ll leave distraught

I spent the night in your arms
And lost my heart forever.
My defenses eradicated by your charms
Now your hold on my heart can’t be severed.

I didn’t realize the price of your embrace
The cost of touching your beautiful face.
You left me bleeding, broken, hollow
With the taste of shame that I can’t swallow

It took awhile but now I see
That you and I were never meant to be

I spent the night in your arms
And thought I lost my heart forever.
My defenses were once eradicated by your charms
But now your hold on my heart can be severed.

You were once a King but now you’re the fool…
You’re the fool…
You were always the fool.
